Course Information

Teacher Refresher Small Group Courses are one of the many courses run by Bournemouth One to One.  They have the same basic content but can be modified to suit the special needs of a group (provided that all of the group have the same needs).

 

We believe in the total participation of our clients, particularly on our Teacher Refresher Courses.  Clients will be encouraged to take part in every aspect of the session.  This will enable them to achieve the maximum benefit from the course.  We intend to work with the clients to identify problem areas and the best methods of improvement.

Testing

Bournemouth One to One's 3 Stage Testing System enables our teaching staff to focus on the language needs of each individual client. 

The client's progress is constantly monitored and the course will be adapted to include other areas of  language that the client is having problems with.  The client is consulted at every stage of the course.

Teaching Staff

All members of staff at Bournemouth One to One have a great deal of experience in teaching both Business English and General English as well as teaching English for exams.  They include Cambridge examiners, ELT (English Language Teaching) authors and teacher trainers.

Price

The price includes registration and enrolment fees, tuition fees, course materials, refreshments and light lunches at the school Monday to Friday, social activities (such as visits to the cinema or theatre plus a weekend half-day excursion including lunch with the Director) as well as the activity.

Accommodation

We can arrange high quality host family, residential or hotel accommodation for clients.

 

We recommend host family accommodation since it enables the client to continue experiencing an English speaking environment in a more relaxed way, even when they are not studying at the school.  This ensures total immersion in the language.

 

We have a number of excellent host families who offer high quality accommodation, some including ensuite facilities.  Clients normally stay with local host families who are chosen by the school to match their personal requirements and who will invite the clients to join in their social activities.  It is possible to be the only person in the family, if the client prefers.

 

Accommodation is booked from Saturday prior to the start of each course.  The client normally departs on the Saturday after the course.

 

Hotel accommodation can be arranged by the school if the client prefers.  Clients are responsible for paying their own hotel bills.

Social Activities

Evening activities (for example, going to the theatre, the cinema or to concerts) plus a weekend half-day excursion including lunch with the Director are included in the price.

Group Courses

Each member of the group must have a similar level of English.

Exclusivity

The exclusive nature of the school enables clients to have maximum opportunity to practise their English, since the tea/coffee breaks and lunches are always taken with members of staff. Normally there are no more than 8 clients in the school at any one time.  In addition, clients have the opportunity to be the only guest in the host family.
