Question
What does teaching English look like?
In Flow's English program, we combine innovative project-based teaching with Cambridge accredited courses, emphasizing a hands-on approach to language with an emphasis on authentic conversation instead of monotonous grammar. We currently have two native English speakers in Flow, one is from the UK and the other is from the US, which opens the door to different accents and dialects for our students.
Technology is essential in our school and plays a key role in English lessons as well. Using tablets, computers and modern applications, we not only provide our students with the opportunity to integrate into the digital world, but at the same time create an engaging learning environment that encourages their active participation and engagement.
