WELCOME 2017

I have not updated this blog since 2014. It has been two years. Does it mean that there have been no activities at INDEPENDENT English Course? There have been and there are still teaching and learning activities. Students still come to study to prepare for IELTS, TOEFL, or TOEIC tests. Some others still study for job interviews, business presentations, business meetings, conversations and so on. I have not updated this blog because I have thought that I have already used some other blogs to promote my English course.

Well, I think it is better for me to update some news sometimes. But for now, I just want to wish you all a Happy New Year. May 2017 be a better year for everyone, especially for my students, students' parents, my clients and others.

CHOOSING AN ENGLISH COURSE IN BOGOR

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.
