SLC’s materials and courses are designed to be used by teachers with their students.
Like a textbook, the courses have a clear structure that can be be taught sequentially or modularly. Unlike a textbook, they are packed with video, audio, recording activities and lots of hands-on activities that enable teachers to give lively, dynamic and engaging classes.
Students work on specific material in their own time, such as medical terminology or the language of patient communication. Teachers then activate the language with their students in lessons through discussion, role-play and problem solving tasks.
Teachers can give all or specific parts of the courses to students to do outside lessons. This helps students consolidate classroom learning and build a strong language base, freeing teachers to deliver their curriculum in lessons.
