Classes are instructed with a communicative language teaching
approach; therefore the focus is entirely on real conversations about real
subjects. That way communication is the engine of learning. Our
classroom activities include role-playing, interviews, games, pair-work,
information gap and TPR (Total Physical Response). Our learners are
encouraged to speak by using language functions related to the specific
situation. The use of authentic texts, songs and games provide a natural
