We will also concentrate on the kind of useful and practical phrases and vocabulary students need in everyday situations. There will also be a variety of games, activities and tasks designed to improve the students' practical ability in English. The main focus of each class will be on the fact that language is communication. The schedule will be followed according to each student's ability.

Evaluation will be by continual assessment. This means the student's classroom performance, attendance, and test results will be monitored.
