Innovative Courses for Adult Learners
English is the Lingua Franca of the modern world spoken and used as a first language or second language in more than 100 countries in the world It is not surprising that everyone wants to be able to speak this language to some degree. Most of the information published today – especially online – is in English. Some people just need to reach an intermediate level to cover their communication needs, others, need to reach a very high level, e.g., University students – Lawyers – Doctors – Teachers – Business people – Marketeers – Scientists

Why choose a one-to-one language programme
Group courses are not the answer to everyone’s needs. If group lessons cannot fully respond to your needs or the demands of your schedule, a one-to-one course may be the most efficient and economical solution in the long run. In a course of this type, the tutor can concentrate on your individual needs and, usually, you need less than half the time for each level than you would in a group course.
Benjamin S. Bloom's research, often cited as a cornerstone of educational theory, provides strong support for the effectiveness of one-to-one tutoring. In his 1984 paper, "The 2 Sigma Problem: The Search for Methods of Group Instruction as Effective as One-to-One Tutoring," Bloom found that:
The average student in a one-on-one tutoring environment performed approximately two standard deviations (or 98%) better than students in a traditional classroom setting.
Hourly rates start at 35 euros for general English courses (levels A-B). These courses can be arranged throughout the year even at your own office or company premises.
The topic areas mentioned above are just an indication of what the types of courses that we can undertake to design and teach. Specially designed courses entirely tailored to your job or interest needs, e.g. music terminology or legal terminology, are possible. And, of course, being a teacher education centre, we are very interested in helping teachers of English whose native language is other than English, to improve their level to that required of a professional teacher.

Tailor-made English Courses
You or your employees need to
- talk to other professionals in your field using special terminology;
- read professional journals and books published only in English;
- use the internet to gather information on a specific subject;
- correspond with colleagues on professional subjects;
- participate in seminars and workshops;
- negotiate projects, contracts, the purchase or sale of an item
Our specialized courses are designed on the basis of the communicative needs of company executives and professional people within a contemporary working environment which places upon them a demand for using the language at a satisfactory or even at a very high level to communicate clients, suppliers or associates who do not speak their native language.
We assess your level – We analyse your needs – We design the course
CELT Athens has all the know-how needed to design the right course for you as an individual or for a group within a company or organization. Seminars are tailor made and range from very short microcourses of just a few hours to longer programmes.
Invite us to your company to assess the level of your staff and to identify and prioritize their needs; to discuss the type of language training they need. CELT Athens can guarantee the quality and effectiveness of all aspects of the course: length, results, achievement of aims, as well as top quality trainers.We will
- analyze the language needs of your employees you wish to train to discover in what ways they need to use the foreign language
- assess their current level in English through placement testing and personal interviews
- specify the course objectives and course length so that they can reach their goal successfully in the shortest possible time
- design the course syllabus/programme
- select or design appropriate teaching materials to achieve the objectives of the course
- keep you informed through detailed progress reports and trainee profiles
- supervise and evaluate the course delivery while in progress to ensure maximum success
- assess the trainees’ language competence at the end of the course
- supply you with a detailed end-of-course report
CELT Athens trainers are amongst the best trained in the profession, fully qualified with Cambridge Teaching Certificates and Diplomas and invited by many other centres running general and special courses to train their teachers.
