Luciana, Akiko and Daniel are given their own timetables (below) and follow their own Langports Study Plan to meet their individual

objectives. On the first morning of classes they all go together to Level 3 for the Use lesson. After the morning break, they go their

separate ways to classes appropriate to their language skills. The afternoon session finds them all in different classes too, specific to

their study goals.

Learning Skills Akiko studied English in junior high school. She has been receiving private lessons at night but not one of her teachers were native speakers and she only learnt from books.

Learning Ability Akiko has great difficulty learning a language that is so different from Japanese.

Learning Objectives She would like to be a teacher when she returns to Japan.

Level test results Writing - 4 Reading - 4 Listening - 2 Speaking - 2 Average - 3
