Our Approach
Tigerfish has developed a unique new teaching method
which we believe provides the fastest possible learning experience
for your executives.
Studies show that children learn languages in “chunks”
or phrases – and not as languages are usually taught
to adults in grammar and vocabulary terms. It is also clear
from both adult and child learning that enjoyment of the learning
experience is a key driver in the speed at which it is learned.
Tigerfish have used these studies and a variety of documented
approaches to develop a unique and groundbreaking approach
for adult and business English. The approach has two elements:
- Using “phrasal” teaching techniques we accelerate
the learning process, providing learners with the language
they need, with less emphasis required on direct grammar
and vocabulary
- We work hard to ensure that the learning environment is
motivational – students enjoy the experience because
the context is interesting and relevant and the teaching
style is inclusive and supportive
The Tigerfish method sets each student individual goals which
are challenging but manageable and clear, based on an initial
level test and personal assessment. Training is highly conversational,
mirroring real life and business situations, while ensuring
that the building blocks of English fluency are well and truly
in place.
We select from a large source of English materials, from
audio CDs, DVDs and written material to ensure we keep involvement
high and learning enjoyable.
