Teaching System

The Teaching system consists of a combination of 3 basic elements, Which are fundamental in learning a language

-Pronunciation:
Taught by language therapists focused on the acoustic side of the language and how it differs from other languages. A good pronunciation is a good beginning because it prepares students to progress to other phases of language development

-Grammar:
The practical use of the grammatical elements instead of the usual focus on long definitions and empty theory, is a guarantee to a fluent speach.

-Conversation:
Constant practice is essential to achievement. This phase starts from day one at MABRASKA .These 3 elements conform to the teaching format but not as a rigid profile; the system itself can be modified depending on the student needs. The program is also reinforced with a wide range of teaching aids: books, videos, computer programs etc.
