Tailored support from experiencedteachers, weekly assessments and individualcoaching sessions help our learners to achieve theiraims. Our methodology ensures that learners arenot only developing their language range andaccuracy, but also developing essen�al skills such ascri�cal thinking, public speaking, selfstudy methodsand compensa�on strategies. We expect learnerson our adult courses to take ownership of thelearning process, working with their teacherstowards a common goal.

Course levelWe ask every student to complete a needsanalysis and placement test before arrival and ashort speaking assessment on the first day. Thisgives us essen�al informa�on about your Englishlanguage level, your goals, your needs and whichclass would be most suitable for you. Studentsmove at different speeds and there is no fixed�me for studying at each level. Progress dependson mo�va�on, selfstudy habits, learning

strategies and language immersion. We expectstudents to work hard and focus on their goals,but also to be realis�c about what is achievable inthe �me they have.

Assessment Learners have a weekly assessment every Fridaymorning. This is designed to assess your progress,help you revise what you have studied and pushyou to apply new language and skills. Yourteachers will assess your progress in class all the�me, by reading your wri�en work, listening toyour spoken produc�on and evalua�ng yourperformance in class. They will give you regularfeedback and discuss your progress during weeklycoaching sessions. Students are also expected toselfassess regularly, evalua�ng their ownprogress in rela�on to their goals.

CoachingEvery Friday learners are invited for an individualcoaching session. The purpose of these sessionsis to provide an opportunity to discuss your ownprogress and to set achievable goals for selfstudy. We expect all learners to take responsibilityfor their own learning and work hard outside ofclass �me. Think about what you want and needto improve most and how you can do thisindependently. Make sure your objec�ves areSMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevantand �mebound).


Homework Our courses are designed to be intensive andlearners should expect homework every night andover the weekend. Doing selfstudy regularly willensure you make be�er progress and developgood learning habits. Remember that homeworkdoesn’t need to be a wri�en exercise. Why notchallenge yourself to make a phone call to acompany in English, interview your homestayhosts or watch a TED Talk on an interes�ng topic?

Cer�ficatesAt the end of your course, you will be given acer�ficate showing your course dates, a�endanceand assessment of your level of spokenproduc�on, spoken interac�on, reading, listeningand wri�ng skills. The levels are based on yourteachers’ evalua�on of your level with referenceto the Common European Framework forLanguages.

A recent survey revealed our top five mostpopular social and cultural programmeactivities.

1. Traditional Storytelling in the CollegeOur most popular activity by far. We inviteprofessional storytellers to the college to telltraditional Scottish stories, talk about localculture and give students the opportunity toshare their own stories.

2. Scottish Ceilidh DancingAt a traditional Scottish ceilidh, you won’tjust be a spectator; you’ll be a participant.Scottish dancing is fun, energetic, sociableand all ceilidhs have a ‘caller’; someone whoteaches you the dance steps.

3. Escape Room Working with a team of your classmates,you’ll use your critical thinking and problemsolving skills to escape from a room. Will youmanage to escape before your time is up?

4. Visit to the Scottish Parliament Learn more about this historic andcontroversial building and go inside thedebating chamber to listen to live debates.

5. Walk up Arthur’s SeatDid you know that Edinburgh is built aroundseven hills? A short walk to the top ofArthur’s Seat provides beautiful views of thecity skyline.
