Our approach to teaching
The British Council provides learners with a rewarding and stimulating English language learning experience. We help all learners reach their full potential by respecting them as diverse individuals, and by encouraging them to be active participants in their own learning. Our curricula offer continuity and progression for every learner, at whatever age they begin their English language learning with the British Council. Our lessons create an environment where children are free to express themselves and ask questions.
The following learning strategies are key to best supporting your child’s language development. In British Council we encourage:
- full interaction and participation in lessons
- practising of language through stimulating and challenging activities a stress-free environment making lessons enjoyable and a place where confidence can blossom
