Students participate actively in each lesson, which may focus on grammatical structures or the introduction of new vocabulary and idiomatic expressions (conversation).

Each lesson begins by introducing the topic with a starter, using general questions, or with a warmer designed to break the ice and review previously acquired vocabulary.

The lesson then progresses through different stages, during which students gradually build confidence and improve their ability to work with the grammatical structures or vocabulary elements presented in the lesson.

In general, the Test–Teach–Test format will be used. This approach introduces grammatical structures or vocabulary through activities such as listening or reading tasks, dialogues, and writing exercises. It is essential to vary the activities employed, not only for educational effectiveness but also to prevent students from becoming bored or disengaged from the lesson.

Presentation of grammatical structures or vocabulary

– Pre-teaching of new vocabulary items for the student
– Reading or listening activity followed by a brief writing task (e.g., a gap-fill) completed in pairs
– Quick correction through listening or group work

For grammatical structures only:
Presentation of the structure with a diagram on the board. With guidance from the instructor—and whenever possible—students will be encouraged to formulate the structure themselves (e.g., Subj + verb + …) as well as the theoretical rules that follow from it. In this way, students take an active role in building the lesson, increasing their sense of responsibility and creative participation.

– Controlled practice with open-pair correction
– Freer practice: practising the grammatical structure or vocabulary in pairs using personalised questions
– Feedback

Throughout the lesson, and whenever possible, the target language (English) will be used.
