Supportive Adult English Language Class In The Town Of Reading

Learning a language as an adult is harder than when we’re children. There’s a couple of reasons for this. 

One reason is that children have more neuroplasticity; their brains are therefore more flexible and adaptable to fresh linguistic patterns and structures. In other words, our brains are like a sponge in the early years. 

Another reason is that children’s cognitive abilities, such as memory and processing speed, are still developing. This makes them particularly suited to language acquisition. Although we as adults have more developed cognitive abilities, we tend to find it more difficult to retain new vocabulary and grammatical rules without conscious effort.

Children are also often immersed in a language in a natural environment. Perhaps they hear it spoken more regularly by native speakers. This immersion aids language acquisition through constant exposure and practice. 

Adults, on the other hand, may not have the same opportunities for consistent practice, which can hinder our progress. However, if you’re based in somewhere like the town of Reading, Berkshire in the UK, you will be surrounded by English speakers. In such cases, it’s often a lack of confidence that makes the process harder. 

As adults, we’re generally more self-conscious when trying out a new language. Indeed, paradoxically, learning a language can make us feel like a child again. 

Celebrating Mervan’s 7.5 IELTS result!!! 👏

The IELTS examination is internationally known and is used for UK university entry by overseas students to study medicine, dentistry, midwifery and more. It is also used by companies using overseas workers in the UK.

Joining an adult English language class encourages you to practise and experiment with the language. 

Children are generally more uninhibited and willing to try speaking without fear of embarrassment. During our English classes in Reading town, you can immerse yourself in the language in a way that’s impossible when relying on apps like Duolingo. 

Although these apps can be highly useful, they don’t give you opportunities to practise talking with other people. Many people find that they use them for years but still lack the confidence to try speaking the language.

It is possible to learn a new language at any age.

One of the advantages we have as adults is that our brains are mature. This can help us in understanding complex grammar rules and strategies for learning. With dedication, immersion, and effective learning strategies, adults can still achieve fluency in new languages.

Why join our adult English language classes in Reading town?

Our courses are ideal for students and mature students wishing to improve their English language skills for general use.

With our morning classes, you’ll cover a wide range of areas, including:

• Speaking and listening
• Reading and writing
• pronunciation practice
• Vocabulary
• relevant grammar. 

All our students take an ‘ELC’ online placement test. There is also a student profile that will be analysed to determine your level of ability in English. ELC London Street can then ensure that you join the group appropriate to their level.

In order to move up a level, you will need to take a progress test. This will ensure that you’re always learning at the appropriate level. Alternatively you may be upgraded, by special recommendation, from your teacher.

Learners receive regular homework at all levels to encourage self-study and academic discipline.

After completing an ‘ELC’ English course you will be able to communicate much more effectively and confidently. That includes pronouncing words accurately and fluently. Our work includes expanding and developing your vocabulary.

Make the most of living in the UK and open up all kinds of opportunities. 

These adult English language classes will help to socialise in English more efficiently.

Improved English skills enable better communication with native speakers and other English learners, making it easier to connect with friends, employers and the general public. 

Our adult English classes also incorporate cultural aspects of English-speaking countries. This can help people understand social norms, customs, and expectations. This knowledge is crucial for navigating social interactions effectively.

As proficiency in English increases, our learners gain confidence in their ability to communicate. 

Confidence is key to initiating and sustaining conversations, making friends, and participating in social activities.

Our English classes often involve group activities, discussions and pair work, providing opportunities to meet and interact with other learners and teachers. This makes them a great place to connect with others. 

Our classes can also help you understand idiomatic expressions and colloquialisms. This will improve comprehension during informal conversations and make interactions more natural and engaging.

Regular practice in a classroom setting can help you refine your communication skills in a supportive environment. This practice prepares them for real-life social situations outside the classroom.

Our teachers in the town of Reading can address any specific challenges you face, such as pronunciation difficulties or understanding different accents, helping them overcome these obstacles.

Alongside language skills, classes often cover social etiquette and appropriate behaviour in different contexts, equipping learners with the knowledge needed to interact respectfully and effectively.

By participating in English classes, learners become more integrated into their local communities, whether as a student, au pair, or visitor.
