The International House Curriculum |

 |
Raising the standards of language teaching and training worldwide
We want International House students to realise their full individual potential
and believe this happens when:
they are actively involved in their learning;
they are challenged by what they are asked to do;
they are motivated by their studies
International House teachers are expected to:
hold appropriate professional qualifications;
engage in on-going professional development;
respect their students as learners and as individuals;
be interested in their students and care about their progress;
encourage their students to participate in class and continue their studies outside class;
take the opinions of their students seriously;
know their subject and be able to clarify details for students;
correct their students appropriately;
be well-informed and sensitive to cultural issues;
be able to use both modern and more traditional teaching methods effectively;
make appropriate use of available technology;
make every lesson a worthwhile learning experience for their students.
Our students can expect International House teachers to:
introduce them to new language;
provide them with opportunities to practise new language;
give them guidance on how to improve their language level;
encourage them to participate in their language of study in the class;
help them become more confident about using their language of study;
develop their ability in speaking, listening, reading and writing;
assess their level, their progress and their language skills;
use up-to-date material from a wide range of sources;
use a wide range of activities and techniques to activate their language of study;
manage their classes effectively and involve students fairly and equally.
We will encourage our students to:
share responsibility for their own learning;
show respect for each other, their teachers and their school;
participate actively in class and respond positively to the challenges of language learning.
