Movers – English for children in Cyprus
Get in touch
We are excited that you have considered joining us on this exciting learning journey.
Course Overview
Movers is an engaging and entertaining course which builds a solid foundation in English to prepare students for exam success, develops their global skills so they become empowered 21st century learners and makes learning meaningful by inspiring them to learn about the world with international culture texts, stories and videos. Through this course, we support our students’ social and emotional wellbeing, and we foster collaboration. The new grammar structures are presented in humorous cartoons, and they feature in the Team Up! tasks which foster global skills and teamwork.
The Beehive syllabus aligns with the Cambridge English Qualifications for Schools and students will be ready to sit the A1 Movers by the end of the academic year.
Leaning Objectives
The Movers course aims to establish a robust English foundation for exam success, incorporating a structured grammar and vocabulary syllabus. It emphasizes extensive grammar presentation and functional language practice, fostering effective communication in real-life situations. Through activities encouraging creativity and critical thinking, students engage in evaluating tasks and projects. The course provides abundant opportunities for listening and speaking English, both individually and in groups, nurturing confidence in oral communication. Reading practice is carefully graded, with activities gradually escalating in difficulty across diverse texts.
Target Audience
Fourth grade primary school pupils.
“The suitability of younger or older students for this level is always at the discretion of the academic director.“
Course Duration
September – June
Our lessons are conducted twice a week, with each session lasting 70 minutes.
Course Format
The lessons are conducted in a classroom setting, but students at this level may also participate via Zoom if they cannot attend due to illness.
Prerequisites
Before registering for this course, students are required to:
- Take a placement test corresponding to their level.
- Attend an interview session.
- Complete and submit all necessary forms.
These prerequisites ensure that students are appropriately placed and prepared for their educational journey with us.
Educators
Our teachers possess a minimum qualification of a B.A. in English and undergo ongoing training, including programs by the British Council and Cambridge University. The team is carefully selected for high expertise, ensuring excellence. Parents can expect to foster a productive and friendly relationship with their child’s teacher, who keeps them consistently informed and updated.
Method of Assessment
Each unit provides self-evaluation sections which encourage students to look back through the unit and decide how well they meet each lesson objective. Self-evaluation is useful to develop learner autonomy. Their performance is also assessed through vocabulary tests, unit tests and progress tests. At the end of the academic year, there is an end-of-year test (TET Together English Test) used to report on the students’ overall progress of the course level. Students also have the opportunity to take an external examination through the British Council, called Young Learner Exams – Movers.
At the end of the academic year, students will be awarded a Certificate of Attainment from Together English Language Centre. The TET certificate will be endorsed by our Academic Director.
