How can Café English help you prepare for your language exam?
Café English language school
Preparing for a language exam is a major challenge for many students, especially when it comes to speaking and listening comprehension. Café English takes a unique approach to overcoming these obstacles and effectively prepares its students to use English through a playful, conversation-centred approach.
Speech-centric Approach
The primary goal of Café English is to help your students become confident and fluent in English. The focus of the lessons is on developing speaking skills with minimal memorisation of grammar rules. The school's aim is for its students to communicate confidently in English in real-life situations.
Step One: Confident Speaking and Listening
Café English does not specialise specifically in English exam preparation, but it brings its students to a level where they can speak English confidently and correctly, and understand what they hear. Of course, we take into account the student's individual goals, i.e. whether the student is preparing for a primary, intermediate or advanced level exam. Our school helps students to achieve the 90% of language proficiency required for the level, which is sufficient for a specialised external English teacher to provide the student with the extra information and skills needed in a few weeks.
Benefits of English Private Lessons and Group English Courses
Café English offers different types of learning, such as group English courses. The private English lessons provide the opportunity for personalised attention, while the group English course develops speaking skills in an interactive environment with other students.
Mother tongue English teachers
The school employs native English teachers who help students learn English in a natural and authentic way. Through individual English lessons and group lessons led by native English teachers, students will become more confident and more able to cope with real-life situations when they are abroad or need to communicate with foreigners.
The English Language Exam Preparation Process
When students reach the desired level, preparing for the language exam becomes much easier. A teacher specialised in English exam preparation can provide them with exam-specific knowledge and skills such as reading comprehension, writing exercises and listening comprehension practice in a few weeks. They can also work together to choose from a range of possible exam centres the one that best suits the student's preferences and level of knowledge.
Why it's worth starting with a conversation-centred approach?
Developing your speaking skills not only helps you prepare for language exams, but also to use the language in real life. Students who speak confidently find it easier to cope in everyday situations, whether at work, on the move or in social interactions. Speech-centred learning is more playful and enjoyable, which increases students' motivation and engagement.
Summary
Café English's unique, conversation-centred approach is an effective and enjoyable way to develop your English. The school does not specialise specifically in English language exam preparation, but brings its students to a level where they can speak English confidently and correctly, and understand what they hear. From there, an external English language teacher can prepare the student for the exam in a few weeks.
We recommend that anyone preparing for a language exam should start their preparation in a lighter, more playful, conversation-focused way, so that they can be confident and successful in the exam and in life. At Café English, we have all the tools and support to help students achieve their language goals. In private English lessons and English group English classes, you will experience the effectiveness of the conversation-centred method with the help of a native English teacher. English lessons can be not only effective but also enjoyable. Don't hesitate to try it yourself and take the first step towards fluency in English!
