OUR METHOD
Our methodology is primarily focused on a process of interaction between learners and trainers. The trainers will demonstrate the practical perspective of communication and their main aim will be to help leaners develop the self-confidence that is required in any exchange taking place in a foreign language and whose acquisition is essential.
Our tests cover all four skills: listening, speaking, writing and reading, but a significant portion of those tests is based on verbal exchanges with the trainer.
Performance reviews are written at the end of the course. They will reflect the efforts made by the learner as closely as possible. They will also show the results achieved and other pedagogical suggestions.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
To help you reach your goals, our trainers will have at their disposal:
● the experience and training to adapt to the personalities and requirements of their interlocutors.
● course materials from publishers such as Oxford, Cambridge, Longman, Macmillan, LTP with whom we work very closely (conferences, publishers-teacher meetings).
These course materials are level specific and will have previously been selected according to the learner's objectives.
● educational materials and annexes specific to Gutenberg Language School.
● CDs, DVDs (Oxford, Cambridge, Longman, LTP ...) and other video support.
● video recording equipment to film spontaneous and prepared presentations made by the learners (skits, role playing, ...). The videos will be commented on and analyzed with the learners.
● direct access to the programs of the BBC, CNN, SKY NEWS and VOA that will be used to test listening comprehension.
While some supports will help learners reach specific goals, others (including grammar and vocabulary books and CD-ROMs) will not only align with the program but will also provide extension work after classes.

The progress of our students is followed thanks to personal educational files where lesson plans and other relevant documents are placed: various tests, course materials, magazine articles, corporate documents ...
