Teaching Goals
At Apple Leaf, we look at all our individual students and find what they need to succeed. Beginners need a strong base. We encourage new students to use tons of English, all while joking, laughing, and playing with the language. We provide explanation when necessary. We want to make sure new students understand what they are saying. Along with a language base, students need encouraging. Students need to be able to have freedom to manipulate language and make errors. Teachers should recognize effort as much as achievement.
