Foundation English Course

THÔNG TIN KHÓA HỌC

The one-on-one online English teaching model is specifically tailored for individuals who have lost their foundational skills. This training program is designed to align closely with the abilities and goals of each student, facilitating a swift recovery of essential knowledge and enhancement of English proficiency in the shortest possible time.

What constitutes a person who has lost their English foundation?

Historically, English was often regarded as a challenging language to master, even for native speakers. For instance, many Britons struggle to comprehend the classics of Shakespeare.

One prominent challenge of English is its inconsistent grammar rules, which can appear random and illogical. Additionally, students often find it difficult to develop English vocabulary, as many words do not adhere to specific usage rules, even within the same tense.

It is crucial to understand that lacking proficiency in English does not reflect on one’s intelligence. English language acquisition is a skill-based endeavor rather than a cognitive one. To excel in skill-oriented subjects, consistent practice and real-life communication are essential.

Interestingly, while Filipinos, who share geographical proximity in East Asia, tend to excel in English, other groups, such as Vietnamese or Chinese individuals, may struggle. This can often be attributed to low self-esteem. Individuals with inadequate English skills often hesitate to employ the language in conversations with others. However, with regular practice, one can quickly forget previous difficulties with the language.

Learning English is akin to mastering skills such as riding a motorbike—one cannot expect to drive proficiently after just one lesson. The same principle applies to English; regular usage nurtures confidence and fluency.

If you find yourself grappling with low self-esteem and hesitating to integrate English into daily life to practice the essential skills of reading, listening, speaking, and writing, you may be classified as someone who has lost their English foundation.

Common scenarios illustrating this phenomenon include students who utilize ineffective learning methods, focusing solely on grammar and vocabulary while neglecting listening and speaking practice. There are also professionals who, despite years of study, have had little opportunity to use their English skills, resulting in diminished proficiency and forgotten knowledge.

To address the barriers faced by individuals who have lost their English foundation, it is essential to seek tailored English courses.

Key challenges include:

– A lack of basic knowledge, making it difficult to maintain motivation and learning momentum.
– Learning content that is overly general, resulting in confusion about where to begin.
– An apprehension about not keeping pace with other learners, which can inhibit the sharing of difficulties and ultimately impede progress.
– Overcrowded classrooms where instructors cannot provide individualized attention, leading to hesitation in asking questions due to low self-esteem.
– Instruction from teachers who lack effective communication methods, resulting in a lack of understanding.

To successfully regain your English skills, a change in learning methodology is vital. Individuals who have lost their English foundation should avoid self-study and crowded English centers, as these environments can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy.

An effective approach for these individuals is to seek personalized learning experiences. Engaging with a qualified English tutor can reinforce existing knowledge and skills. For those with busy schedules, one-on-one online English courses, such as those offered by ICS English, are highly recommended.

The integration of basic grammar with conversational practice enables learners to grasp grammatical concepts while simultaneously understanding their application in communication. Additionally, thematic vocabulary lessons, facilitated by a native-speaking instructor, enable practical usage and retention of new words through contextual learning.

Practicing quick reflexes in conversational English is another benefit of online courses. This method allows learners to focus on constructing phrases naturally rather than hesitantly formulating sentences, fostering fluency and confidence.

Online learning provides the opportunity for direct interaction with native speakers, enhancing listening and speaking skills while cultivating a more natural intonation.

The one-on-one teaching model presents numerous advantages, particularly for individuals who have lost their foundational English skills. With personalized attention, instructors can closely monitor strengths and weaknesses, allowing for meticulous correction and guidance.

This approach also permits students to ask questions without fear of judgment.

Experienced teachers—holding international qualifications and possessing a minimum of three years’ experience—will employ accessible communication methods to facilitate comprehension.

Regular assessments after designated lessons will be conducted to evaluate students’ progress and identify improvement strategies.

Learning English through a one-on-one online format is not only efficient but also flexible, accommodating the schedules of busy professionals who wish to enhance their English skills without the need to travel to a physical location.

Tailored lessons will involve interactive components grounded in real-life scenarios, covering vocabulary expansion, conversational practice, and essential grammar structures designed to support daily communication in English.
