Facilities

What facilities should a school offer you, in order to choose it for some foreign languages courses?

All they need for effective foreign language learning is books, good recordings and good teachers. Everything else is extra.

Computer-based language learning shouldn't be the core of the instruction, because the human eye can't focus long enough on the active screen.

I don´t know if I actually agree with you, I think that a school should offer you more than that, in order to choose it. Here are some advices you should follow when choosing a good school http://www.uiclondon.com/blog/how-do-you-choose-a-good-school/

Good morning Katty. Your previous posts show a strong tendency to favour uiclondon.
If you wish to promote that site whilst availing yourself of the facilities offered here, then you really should be more open and honest in your post.

English-test.net is a long established Forum where everything is freely offered, and hopefully, catered for.

We have many students who have attained their qualifications in various exams, which has allowed them to enter the university of their choice.

When your favourite school can offer these facilities free of charge, then you may get the response that you hope for.

Kitos.

Thanks for your advice, Jamie ;-) As I have to speak 3 different languages at the office, and also my native language, I sometimes make mistakes, because I can not concentrate all the time. I am not trying to favour this blog, I have only found this interesting article on their blog. And I do not think that free of charge services can be as useful as paid services are. For example, I am trying to learn Spanish by myself, on forums and chats, and believe me, it isn´t the same as if I were in college or some kind of course. I definitely think that teachers are the key to learning a foreign language as it has to be learnt.

When it come to selecting a language school or course you should ask the following questions:
- How much time of the total instruction will I be spending on listening to other learners speak English?
- How much time will I be spending on listening to native speakers speak natural English?
- How much time will I be spending on speaking entire phrases myself?
- How much time will I spending on reading information I could read myself at home?
