OBJECTIVES<br />

The principal objective of our academy “English in<br />

your way”, is to satisfy the needs that superior level<br />

students have and with the courses that our academy<br />

offers make t hem important and productive<br />

members of the society.<br />

Specific objectives:<br />

To form students capable to use English correctly in<br />

their specific field.<br />

To show students how to apply English in their specific<br />

field in a meaningful way.


PHILOSOPHY OF THE <strong>ACADEMY</strong><br />

English in your way academy wants to reach a high level of English<br />

to superior level students by offering courses of technical English<br />

according to their field providing a high quality service. The<br />

academy also wants to be recognize as the first technical English<br />

institution in the east area of El Salvador but not only for that,<br />

besides we want our students to face the changes of the society,<br />

well prepared, because we know that English is opening many<br />

doors in our time. We not only see our courses only for teaching<br />

English but as a complete academy in which we are not simply<br />

teaching and that is the end of the story we want that they can be<br />

able of gain not merely knowledge but also values, with this in<br />

mind we give a contribution to the society which is competent<br />

students that have all the requirements that the country needs in<br />

order to succeed.


METHODOLOGY<br />

APPROACH:<br />

HOLISTIC APPROACH:<br />

A holistic view means that we are interested in engaging and<br />

developing the whole person. You can think of this as different<br />

levels, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It’s the concept<br />

that the human being is multi-dimensional. We have conscious and<br />

unconscious aspects, rational and irrational aspects. We are a body<br />

mind. Not just intellect, but emotion, instinct, intuition, as well. We<br />

support people in using all of their ‘multiple intelligence’ that<br />

means insight, rationality, logic, emotion, hunches, gut feel,<br />

creativity, a sense of harmony and rhythm. We believe there are<br />

more than five senses, and we wish people to use the information<br />

from all their senses, and assist them in developing ‘uncommon<br />

sense’.


STRATEGIES<br />

Discussion Strategy<br />

Students will be able to express what they think of a certain<br />

topic, they will also give constructive critic using English.<br />

Problem Based learning<br />

Students try to develop thinking skills in order to solve<br />

different cases in the target language.<br />

METHOD<br />

DIRECT METHOD<br />

This methods allows us to communicate with our students using<br />

full English, in this way students will develop speaking a listening<br />

skills and it will be easier for them to understand, manage and put<br />

in practice the language. Moreover this method simulates how the<br />

English is used in countries where this language is spoken every<br />

single day.


TEACHER’S PROFILE<br />

The ideal type of teacher that we look for has to be creative<br />

updated with the world. Our teachers have to be dynamic and<br />

motivator in a way that students have the feeling of study and feel<br />

motivated also our teachers have to be responsible, punctuality is<br />

important to. The teachers of our institution have to be aware with<br />

the technology they have to be open minded, moreover our<br />

teacher has to be specialized in each given course, well equipped<br />

and prepare to answer all the doubts that the student may have<br />
