Adult Courses
As an adult, I don't have time to take part in class, what should I do?
One of the problems with in-person classes is transportation to and from those classes, especially since in-person classes are held during the day, when most people are working and busy with daily affairs. Many stay-at-home mothers are unable to participate in in-person classes due to their responsibilities. Our classes cater exclusively to these adults. Since there is no need to go outside or to close your business or leave your children at home, you can easily participate in classes at night from home using a mobile phone or laptop.
Who are the teachers and what are they like?
All the teachers at Smko Academy have passed English courses and are proficient in both English and English language teaching. They have been selected according to standard teacher evaluation criteria after an intensive evaluation by the teacher recruitment committee. All the teachers are skilled, friendly, and energetic, so you can experience a pleasant atmosphere in class.
What books are taught?
One of the problems in many English academies is learning English in only one (American or British) dialect, which means that students become accustomed to only one dialect, while we all know that English is spoken in various accents and dialects! In order for students to learn both American and British dialect at the same time, we have combined two books: “English for Everyone” in British and “Touchstone” in American English. We have merged these two books so that students can learn both dialects simultaneously.
What skills do we learn in these classes? Speaking only?
In our classes, all four skills – speaking, reading, writing, and listening – are learned together, but the main focus is on speaking.
Can we ask the teacher questions after class?
One of the most outstanding characteristics of Smko Academy is the uninterrupted relationship among students, teachers, and the Academy after classes. All classes are provided with a Telegram group where students can practice English together, send video and audio messages, ask questions from the teachers and the Academy, and send assignments. Students learn twice as much nn the class Telegram group as they do in the class.
Do we have a monthly final test?
Another characteristic of Smko Academy is the attention to assessment and testing of students. The evaluation is as follows:
1. Post-lesson test: After each lesson, a series of Telegram tests are sent to students so they can test themselves on whether they have learned the lesson well or not.
2. Monthly evaluation: At the beginning of each month, a general examination is provided, and students must pass this examination; otherwise, they will have to repeat the term.
3. One Speaking Assessment: On a monthly basis, the speaking abilities of students are evaluated to determine any advancements made during the academic term. The questions are based on the subjects they have studied that term, so if they have studied well, they can easily answer the questions.
