Course Design

• The TVSS online courses focus on speaking & listening skills and help prepare students for future Trinity College Graded Examinations in Spoken English.
  
  
• You will take a short Online Placement Test to be enrolled in an online English class appropriate to your English level alongside a mix of students who you will learn with throughout your course.
  
  
• Lessons will focus on speaking and listening to authentic English. In each class you will be given the opportunity to speak English with the class and with the teacher. Our Online English classes are small, with a maximum of 8 students in each class, so you can learn in a supportive, friendly environment. In exceptional cases, in order to place students at their correct level, maximum class size may be exceeded.
  
  
• All languages are constantly changing and English is no exception. With this in mind, we go to great lengths to make sure our courses and products are constantly being updated.
  
  
• We have a team of language experts with over fifty years’ experience between them. Their task is to make sure that you learn the most current form of English. And that you learn it in the most stimulating and enjoyable way.
  
  
• We believe that you will learn faster and more effectively if your lessons are fun, interactive and relevant, that’s why our fully qualified teachers use a range of techniques and develop classes that are motivating and build your confidence. Be a stronger English speaker when schools reopen!
  
  
• Classroom activities will include discussions, role plays, pair work, collaborative group projects, focus on pronunciation, mini-presentations, listening comprehensions, podcasts and embedded sound & video files.
  
  
• Our teachers are all native-level English speakers who are friendly and fun to work with. They’re all expected to hold internationally recognised teaching qualifications - as required by the British Council. Student progress is closely monitored by the Director of Education.
