INSTRUCTORS AND METHODOLOGY

Instructors:

All our instructors are native-English speaking professional writing instructors, most of whom have a minimum 10 years’ experience of teaching writing courses.

Methodology:

Because no two students are the same, all our courses are 100% tailored to each student’s specific goals and needs. They are also completely organic, allowing the instructor to adapt the lesson plan to the student’s needs and learning style as and when necessary. The instructors first present new material, which the students then have the opportunity to practice in controlled exercises. Finally, the students perform what they have learnt in case studies and assignments. During the review sessions, students are always encouraged to self-correct whenever possible to further aid assimilation.

SETTING GOALS AND MONITORING PROGRESS

Goal Analysis:	When you come to Insight ABC Writing Academy to study, we first conduct an oral goal analysis to determine exactly why you plan to study. As well as giving us an idea of your oral proficiency level, this helps us to set your goal level and make sure we select the most appropriate course and material to help you reach that goal.
Diagnostic Appraisal (pre-course):	Before the course begins, each student completes a writing assignment which is then diagnostically appraised to identify individual development areas.
Action Plan:	Once we know your goal level, your current level and your development areas, we can formulate an action plan to map out how we can help you achieve your goals and how long it will take.
Counselling:	Your instructor and programme advisor will provide regular counselling throughout your course on your development areas, your needs, your progress and your goal achievement so that we can monitor your assimilation and make adjustments to the course if necessary.
Diagnostic Appraisal (post-course):	A second diagnostic appraisal is conducted at the end of your course to confirm how your goals have been met or to outline any remaining areas that need to be addressed.
