Language Matters Limited sets itself very high standards of professional
service and education development and delivery. We are committed to a balance
between “learning language to use it” and “using
language to learn it” so always ensure you receive a variety of
material based and conversation based lessons.
The Oxford Placement Test determines the level at which you will be placed
with the Communication Studies course. These tests will take place before
you start or on your first day at school and will take no more than one
hour. If, at a later date, you and the teacher find that the work is
too hard or easy for you at the level at which you were placed, it will
be possible for you to transfer to another class. Your comfort and enjoyment
as a learner is very important to us.
You
will be given a leaving certificate at the end of your period of study
which will indicate how long you studied with English Language Matters,
the courses you took part in, the level of achievement/ language ability
you achieved. If you complete a one year course of study and pass the required
tests, you will receive a Certificate in English for Communication, English
for Business or Academic Studies depending on the course you studied.
