WECI Learners

With an age range of seven to sixty, our learners come from many different backgrounds. Some learn English for their own personal development, some for pleasure and travel, others to be more successful at school or in their jobs. Our learners are enthusiastic, motivated individuals who enjoy the fun, communicative methodology used in class. They participate actively in pair work, group work and role plays, with any self consciousness soon forgotten.

Most learners have the same aim - to improve their speaking and listening skills and expand their vocabulary. Much of their existing knowledge is passive, obtained from a traditional school system with large classes and a greater emphasis on grammar than developing communicative skills. It is quite normal to come across learners with a passive understanding and a solid background in English grammar but low communicative competence overall. Correct English pronunciation is a strong feature of our classes, and a great deal of importance is given to overcoming typical Thai speaker pronunciation errors.
