The Linguaphone Group is at the forefront of English language education with over 200 English language training centres in 25 countries around the world, operating under the Direct English and Linguaphone brand names.
Our courses, materials and training centres reflect our heritage, understanding and experience of how language is learned naturally, with exemplary world-class customer support and care provided at all times.
 |
Our tutor-supported learning system is built on three major learning stages which are tried and tested ways of reflecting the human learning process:
- Building (the Presentation Stage)
- Consolidating (the Learning and Study Stage)
- Expanding (the Practice Stage)
|
 |
Our cyclical syllabus is designed for maximum communication. It allows you to confidentally use your English from the earliest stages of your studies, at the same time as systematically covering all the major elements of English grammar.
The syllabus of Direct English has been developed from the one used for Louis Alexander’s Follow Me - the most successful TV, classroom and self-study course ever published. Cyclical Syllabus:
- Recycles and builds on language learned
- Gives confidence that the learning is progressive
- Allows flexibility in learning method/course delivery
|
| Provides the learner with the essential skills to communicate in English |
 |
The methodology we use to teach English is designed to train you systematically in
the four skills of understanding, speaking, reading and writing, while at the same
time anticipating and dealing with likely questions you might have at every
stage of the learning process. |
 |
The audio and video components of our course material are both engaging and
motivating.
The situations are memorable and you will immediately become involved in them.
The books too avoid the dry and boring look many associate with academic textbooks
of today. |
 |
Online, audio CD, video and CD-Rom resources ensure that our materials will appeal to
learners who like to make
use of the latest educational technology, without alienating those who like to work in
more traditional ways. |
|

- Optimises learner comprehension
