Teenage years are a crucial time for early adolescents as they continue the process of forming their own identity and shaping their personality. Major English Centre believes that this is also a key stage for acquiring knowledge in preparation for future studies and careers.
English has become an indispensable tool for communication and furthermore provides a doorway (gateway) to the world. For this reason, Major English Centre has designed special courses for teenagers in an effort to broaden… students’ horizons.
Learning methods: Activity-based learning with a wide variety of projects, peer interaction, and group work. All of which enable teens to express themselves in a meaningful way.
