Language school OISE
Heidelberg

Oise school is situated at the last floor of a modern building; large picture windows open on a big roof terrace overlooking the city, the castle and the Palatinate Forest. During the breaks, students may enjoy a cup of coffee while admiring the view. Students may chose between individual tutoring or small units of a maximum of four per teacher; both solutions can be combined. Master classes / workshops complete the program so as to allow students to put into practice the communication skills they acquired during the German Language Courses.

Small units courses (quatorial lessons program)

The Quatorial program is a combination of 15 hours of class a week in units of four students, topped by 16 hours of oral practice and individual preparation. The program may also include  5,10 or 15 individual tutoring per week (see tutorial program for more details).

The Quatorial provides high levels of individual attention within a small, dynamic learning unit. The low number of students means that the tutor is able to address fully the linguistic needs and objectives of each participant. During the lessons students are given the opportunity to put into practice the skills they have acquired through writing exercises (reports or presentation of articles) while being guided and advised by dedicated well qualified teachers.

The extra hours dedicated to workshops and workgroups allow students to improve their oral skills, their communication skills and develop their teamwork ability; training is based on role-plays and themes in line with current affairs.

The Quatorial provides a balanced and comprehensive program allowing students to draw the best benefits from their language course.

Tutorial tuition (tutorial program)

The program is composed of 20 to 30 individual lessons per week ; it proves to be one of the most efficient learning methods available.

The teaching programme is based entirely on individual lessons. This means that the tutor’s attention is focused on one student, and allows for a perfect match between lesson content and the learning requirements of the student. The Tutorial enables teaching methods to be adapted to the learning style and pace at which the student can successfully learn. Tutorial tuition thus ensures that maximum progress is made in a short period of time. Each students works with several different teachers throughout the programs enabling him to experiment different approaches to the language.

In addition, such program allows a more specific approach to the following topics: accountancy, aviation, banking, trading, finance, law, marketing, human resources, health, oil industry, public works, chemical industry and pharmaceutics. .
