Core Courses

  • Needs Analysis

    Before beginning the course, learners are guided through a comprehensive questionnaire to determine their language learning goals, interests, and study habits. This information allows Pitman English to establish a clear picture of each student and to refine the content of the course to make the learning relevant, engaging, and personalized.

  • Proficiency Assessment

    Following the needs analysis, students complete a proficiency assessment. The proficiency assess-ment typically takes 30-40 minutes to complete and assesses the student’s level of proficiency in grammatical knowledge, listening comprehension, and reading comprehension. This assessment and the needs analysis, together, are used to person-alize the course to meet the needs of the student.

  • The proficiency assessment is repeated at the end of the course for learners to measure their improvement.

  • Learning Activities

    Based on the results of the needs analysis and the proficiency assessment, students are enrolled in 3 personalized units. Each unit consists of lessons organized around a theme that centers on the goals and interests of the student. Each lesson contains 3 fun and engaging activities to develop students’ language skills. Each unit is followed by an achievement test to provide students with feedback on their progress.

  • Live Instruction

    To reinforce learning, students have access to an unlimited number of group classes offered every day at a variety of times. Classes are led by trained instructors and are available at every level.
