Executive summary about what to consider
when choosing an English course by Lisa Partridge
Most private English schools in Bogor offer English
courses that follow set programmes accompanied by set textbooks.
While this
type of English course gives a structure to the student's lessons, the
disadvantage of such an English course is the inflexibility. Every student has
differing needs and it may be that not all of the units in the set textbook are
relevant to the student's needs or relevant to their work or daily life.
Another disadvantage is that many of the language schools have rigid level
charts. After assessing a student's level, they are put on a course appropriate
for their level and are put up a level after a certain number of lessons even
if they have not yet reached that next level. This means that the higher level
English course could be too difficult for them, leading to a loss of confidence
and de-motivation.
At the start of an English course, it is
important that every student sets some objectives so that they have a focus and
can measure their progress. These course objectives need to be realistic and
measurable. For instance, you may have this objective: I want to sit for a private class so that I can reach 600 in the next TOEFL test.
For busy city professionals, in Bogor perhaps the
most convenient and efficient way of having English lessons is to have a
personal teacher providing lessons at home or the workplace. The teacher and
student can agree on the most suitable schedule for the English course and the
student does not have to travel to get a flexible, tailored course.
