English Language Course Syllabus at Studio Cambridge

The Studio Cambridge syllabus

Studio Cambridge English language courses are designed to be flexible to allow students a choice on when to start and finish their studies. Teachers follow a set syllabus and within this they plan a week's work (called a Weekly Work Scheme) based on their students' level and needs.

With this flexibility in mind, Studio Cambridge teachers choose materials from a range of the latest books, such as Inside Out, New English File, New Headway, Strategies in Listening, Consider the Issues and Speaking Extra. These materials are given to the students in the form of photocopies, which the students order for reference in their files.

Authentic articles: Teachers often design their own materials based on newspaper or magazine articles, books and plays, and recorded television programmes, which are given to students as photocopies.

CDs: Students do listening tasks with a tape or CD once a day on average.

DVD: Students do exercises based on a video or DVD once a week on average.

Computers: Students do language exercise on computers including internet research in our Learning Centre once a week on average.

Teaching Aids: Teachers use realia, flash cards and OHPs as and when appropriate.

Zero Materials: Teachers will occasionally give lessons which do not use materials but stem from the language which students produce in an initial activity set by the teacher.
