The Quatorial Programme

The Quatorial programme offers intensive English training for business professionals and students. Our classes have a maximum of 4 students and use a dynamic approach to language learning through listening, speaking, reading and writing. This intensive programme encourages students to develop accuracy, fluency and confidence rapidly in all areas of the English language.

The curriculum:

 • Language acquisition

You will study grammar structures, idioms, vocabulary and expressions to improve accurate communication in English.

 • Controlled practice

You will practise informal conversation, presenting, reporting, negotiating, telephoning and conference participation in real or semi authentic situations.

 • Performance practice (Workshop: up to 8 participants)

These workshops offer you the opportunity to apply your skills in formal presentations, group debates, discussions, narratives and role plays.

• Reading and writing

You will study and practise appropriate language for writing letters, reports, emails, presentations and articles.

• Listening with ease

Working in an English speaking environment you will be exposed at all times of the day to a listening comprehension effort. Formal exercises take place in morning plenary sessions, in the workshops and in Quatorial lessons.

• Individual focus

Masterclass gives you the opportunity for a daily period of self-study, guided by your teacher. You can choose your area of study such as composing your resume, improving your lsitening skills or consolidating your grammar.
