For 4 weeks, ELA Edinburgh is offering free English lessons.
These lessons will take place at our school in Edinburgh city centre from 15:30
till 17:30, Monday to Friday.
Ideal if you are a part-time worker, or would
like to make use of any spare time in the afternoons to improve your English.
You
will receive a vast range of different types of lessons, from skills such as
speaking, listening, writing and reading to vocabulary and grammar. You will learn
lots and lots of useful new words and expressions and greatly improve your
knowledge of the English grammatical system. You will be taught by a group of
trainee teachers as part of their Trinity CertTESOL professional teaching
qualification.
Our aim is that the lessons are delivered in a fun, interesting
and engaging way, designed to help your real-life, everyday use of the English
language. Whether you are in Edinburgh long-term or short-term, working
part-time or visiting, our free lessons are for everybody. Don’t worry if your
English level isn’t high, we have different classes available for different
levels.
Maybe you are new to Edinburgh, or to the UK, and are
struggling with the language.
Maybe it’s difficult to understand the local
people in shops or restaurants or over the phone.
This can make it very
difficult to cope in day-to-day life in the UK. Our lessons will familiarise
you with, conversational English in these common situations.
Or maybe you have
been learning English for many years and would just like to refresh your
grammatical knowledge or learn some new colloquial expressions, slang, or more
unusual or high-level vocabulary.
Many non-native speakers of English have
knowledge of the language, but lack the confidence to produce it when they have
to. With a communicative and interactive focus, our lessons are a great way to
gain the confidence you need and maximise the knowledge you already have to use
English outside of the classroom easily and fluently.
The Trinity CertTESOL is a qualification which is awarded to
teachers who have proved they can teach to a high level. It is one of the most
respected English teaching qualifications on offer and is recognised around the
world.
In order to gain this qualification, the trainees’ lessons must be of
the highest standard with excellent lesson planning and clear learning aims.
They must also provide evidence of your learning. The lessons will be observed
by professional, highly experienced tutors so that the teachers can improve throughout
the course. They will receive intense tuition between lessons – which means
your lessons will get better and better. Your participation would greatly help
these new teachers as well as your own English.
Our lessons are also a great way to meet new people in a
strange country. There are many outsiders living in the multi-cultural city of
Edinburgh, but sometimes it’s not so easy to meet people socially, especially
if you are new to the city. If you have any friends who would also like to come
to the lessons, bring them along! The more, the merrier!
