Arizona Language Institute: Teaching Method

Arizona Language Institute in Phoenix offers small, student-centered English, Spanish and Foreign language classes. The class size is limited to maximum of 8 students and there are various types of language classes for many different levels of students.

For a better learning environment, students are divided into appropriate levels. All our teachers are professionals with university degrees in teaching English, Spanish and Foreign Languages to the speakers of other languages and many years of teaching experience.

You will learn to speak English, Spanish or Foreign language quickly and naturally. Our goal is to make you comfortable using your new language in any situation in everyday life.

The following are some of the basic principles of our methodology:

Focus on Communication

Our teaching methodology focuses on communication, emphasizing speaking and listening over other skill areas. Grammar, reading, and writing are also important, and we teach those skills through a practical and communicative approach without being boring or repetitive.

Homework

Homework is an important aspect of all English, Spanish and Foreign Language Programs. Most written work will be completed at home and integrated into the lessons on the following day. Students can expect to do a few hours of homework a week, both reading, writing and reviewing topics covered in the class.

Assessment

There are on-going assessments of student progress throughout each level of the program. Modes of assessment vary from weekly quizzes and unit tests to regular standardized testing. The program measures student progress and provides feedback on students' successes and areas that might still need improvement.

The combination of a highly effective methodology and qualified, dedicated teachers means that whichever course you choose and at whichever level you begin your program, you are sure to improve as quickly as possible.

Student's Testimonial

"I am very pleased and satisfied about these lessons I took in your school. I think I have improved my understanding and speaking of the English language after this session. It helped me very much in using the American language with its idioms and expressions.

Peggy Gray was my teacher. She is a very nice person with a lot of experience. She is very understanding and helpful. I enjoyed her interesting and diversified lessons. She gave me the right motivation to improve my knowledge of the English language.

I am very glad, that I was here. Thank you.
