July 4th- 8th 2011 at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute

The month of July started with the addition of two students who learnt English with Cross-Cultural Learning Institute and took diving classes with Rendezvous Surf and Dive Resort.

These two short stay students took English classes for four days with their graduation on Thursday the 7th of July 2011.
Congratulation girls!! Well done and You can do it!!
They found the classes at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute a new interesting experience as they were placed in an environment where they could freely speak English.

Cross-Cultural Learning Institute provides an encouraging environment for students to articulate themselves within our Private Classes and Semi-Private Classes

Cross-Cultural Learning Institute 2 hours Private Class allows students to have a private tutor to practice English with at students learning pace.
Students can raise questions they would not have the time and confidence to raise in a classroom. Starting with our Private Classes, students can build up the confidence to speak and their Private Class Tutors focus on individual students weaknesses.

Owing to the dynamics of our Conversation Classes or Semi-Private Classes, students can build up their English speaking skills in a bigger sphere. We emphasize the creation of simulated real world situations where students want to be able to use English, such as something as simple as an introduction or greeting, talking about hobbies and favorite things.....especially lifestyles.....music, movie, celebrities, travel sports etc.

Our graduates for this week did just that......to their excitement and interest...finding out that they could speak English, learn something new and have fun at the same time.

Its a wonderful transition to see....
...in their first class students usually vocalize their negative feelings of English
based on their past experiences in learning English .......as they start having English classes with us at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute we find students vocalizing a new found positiveness and interest in English ...they change their opinion...finding English interesting and fun....

We at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute strive for creating a positive English learning environment and we would warmly welcome those who want to experience that....not forgetting our gratitude and well wishes to those who have experienced that.....

June Graduations at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute

By the end of June we fare-welled three of Cross-Cultural Learning Institute students.
The first graduate was holidaying in Fiji for a month and then decided to take a ten day English course.
Since her English need is for travelling and everyday situation we at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute have tailored her lesson plan to fit her specific need in the area of English expressions and vocabulary. We covered topics such as Going Shopping, Restaurants Ordering, Medical Situations, Hotel Booking, Going Places and Directions for our Conversation Class

While her Private Class was tailored to build up her English grammar is a way that was usable and relevant to her daily life...i.e. daily situation English

The Second graduate had been studying with Cross-Cultural Learning Institute from 4th of April until the 27th of June 2011. He is one of our Advanced English Level students and his need was to perfect his discussion conversation skills. He is one of our well-versed students with well-formed abilities in vocabulary and expressions. Japanese students do not have as much opportunities to speak English in Japan, Japanese being the standard language as such we at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute aim to provide an environment where students can maximize their spoken English opportunities.

For our Advanced English Level students we provided discussion lessons from varied topics and fields, focusing on the varied number of expressions and vocabulary related to those discussions. The student was able to effectively use his vocabulary and expressions as well as learn new ones.

The third graduate started from the 4th of April to the 30th of June 2011. Based on his study needs Cross-Cultural Learning Institute focused on Elementary English vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. He completed Elementary Level English Grammar and improved his pronunciation need in L and R sounds. He was able to practice reading and listening and thus further improve his pronunciation and comprehension skills. He was also able to better his conversation skills and sentence structure as such. We at Cross-Cultural Learning Institute want to offer excellence in our service and we offer our appreciation to all our students graduates and those to come for allowing us to do that. Vinaka....
