The best course material available, selected according your level and needs

a. Your own course book

We are proud to say that we teamed up with the highly reputed ‘Cambridge University Press’, using their extensive catalogue of the very best in English language training course books. We have chosen this top quality material to guarantee the success of your English training.
Based on your level, needs, and preferences, we select the course book that is right for you and arrange delivery to your home or office. We can ship it direct or via Amazon.
Your teacher uses the same book to guide you through your course. You can read the texts, do the exercises, ask questions, do written tasks, listen to your teacher and to recordings, etc., just as you would in any classroom setting. The only difference is that you talk to your teacher via your PC, using VoIP.
Your course book also enables you to study wherever and whenever you want.
The choice of course material depends not only on your level, but also on your needs.

Here are a few examples of the variety of options we can offer you:

1. A general, free course book for adult students that we often use is ‘English 365’.
It is available in several levels and has proven to be a very effective learning aid. For more information about this method, click here.

Course books for specific purposes – mailed to you by courier
These course books with CD-ROM for specific purposes come at a limited extra price. 

2. If you want to devote extra time to multimedia language training, we can also use a method like ‘Face to Face’ that comes with a workbook and a CD-ROM, a study package of hundreds of additional exercises you can work on in your own time.
There are four editions, ranging from elementary to a fairly advanced starting level. You pay a total price for the course book, workbook and CD-ROM.

3. If you are preparing for an official Cambridge University diploma of English, we will send you a book specially designed to help you with the F.C.E., C.A.E., C.P.E. or I.E.L.T.S. exams.  There is a similar book for the T.O.E.F.L., which is a well-known American English language certificate.

4. If you want to study additional grammar, we recommend the very practical ‘English Grammar in Use’.
This book covers all major aspects of grammar. It comes in three levels and every page of theory is followed by a page of exercises. Also included is a CD-ROM with additional exercises.

5. An extended version of ‘English 365’
This includes a personal study book with audio CD and all the additional listening exercises on two extra CD’s

b. Flexible course material
 
For some courses, this approach with a standard course book is not the optimum solution. Those with specific needs, those wishing to take only conversation classes or to have the course based on newspaper and magazine articles, sometimes prefer a more flexible, day-to-day selection of course material.
In such cases, your teacher will use the PC for more than just conversation so that you can exchange e-mails and files and be shown texts, exercises, clips, pictures, web pages, etc. on your screen.
Together you visit websites, such as BBC learning English, where you can do online reading, listening and other exercises, with instant feedback and correction of mistakes. 
We often combine a course book with online course material, including links to interesting newspaper articles and interactive exercises as outlined above.
