Evening language courses at SGI

Leave a comment

Short days and frosty evenings can make the idea of getting through winter in London a bleak one. For those looking to spice up their evenings and minimise time on the sofa this winter, you might want to look at St George International evening courses. SGI language school offers a variety of foreign language evening courses, making learning a language that much more attainable for those who work.

When trying to balance learning a language with a full time job, finding a language school that fits in with your timetable can be half the challenge. St George International offers evening classes in German, French and Spanish and is very centrally located in London’s Oxford Circus.

Classes run from 18:30 to 20:30 during weeknights meaning they’re accessible for those working in Central London. Class size is kept to a maximum of 12 so that each student gets as much teacher attention as possible. Importantly, classes are taught by qualified native-speaker teachers so students have the benefit of learning conversational rather than just text book languages. Various levels are available for each course. Students can take an easy to follow online test to determine their level. Courses run for 10 weeks and prices vary from £185 to £195.

For those wishing to attend Spanish courses London can seem like a daunting place to start. Many people find it hard to fit learning a language in around the busy city lifestyle. St George International’s flexible approach to learning helps to combat this. You can attend classes at the school or opt for private tuition. Private tuition is offered at a variety of levels and there are Intensive and Super Intensive courses available. Businesses can take advantage of the in-company courses that SGI provides, both for small groups and individuals.

For many wishing to take French courses London is a great option. However, a great way to cement new found language skills is of course, to start speaking with native speakers. SGI’s partner schools in Montpellier, Nice, Paris and Vichy provide the amazing opportunity to study French in France. Most courses have a maximum class size of 15 and consist of 20 to 30 lessons a week.

Winter in London need not be dull – aspiring French, Spanish and German speakers can put their snowy evenings to good use with SGI’s evening language courses. The school’s central location and flexible options for learning make the whole process of learning a language that much more doable.

SGI – a Christmas Gift with a Difference

Leave a comment

Parents looking for an alternative to the usual Christmas gift this year might want to consider sending their children to a language school. St George International school has a variety of courses available for children aged 5 to 15. The school has also been enjoying excellent ratings from its students for 2011.

St George International is a London based language school which has recently completed a survey of its students. The school received excellent feedback from students from August to October of 2011, with 98% of students saying they would recommend the school.

The survey also revealed that not only would a very high percentage of students recommend the school but teachers have received consistently positive feedback also. The average teacher score (as rated by students) for August of 2011 was 8.83, September was 9 and October was an even more impressive 9.3. As a student, having faith in the capabilities of your teacher is obviously of extreme importance. Furthermore, 99% of students surveyed in both August and October felt their English had improved, with 97% of students surveyed in September cited an improvement. Many of these students felt their English was of such a level that they could now progress to university in English.

As well as Business English at St Georges, courses for children are also available throughout summer. St George International caters for children via its Young Learner programmes. The SGI Children London course is available to children aged five to nine years and is based in London’s beautiful Regent’s Park. Any level of English is acceptable and the children learn through a variety of activities.

10 to 15 year old students can take advantage of the Residential Summer Holiday course which takes place in an historic house in Eastbourne. Courses vary from one to eight weeks and children can be accommodated in the house. The course structure is such that English lessons take place in the morning with the afternoons being reserved for fun activities and events. Saturdays involve a day long trip for the students.

If you’re searching for a school of English London is a great place to start. St George International, in particular, is flexible with its children’s programmes and its excellent feedback from students this year make it an all the more feasible choice. Parents looking to enrol their children in the summer courses should be advised that they tend to book out in advance.

Stillpoint Aromatics offers Aromatherapy Workshop Series “The Power of One Drop”

Leave a comment

Joy Musacchio and Cynthia Brownley, owners of Stillpoint Aromatics, have launched a series of Aromatherapy workshops that teach proper and safe usage of pure therapeutic essential oils. In addition, the workshops are NCBTMB approved for 19 CEUs each.

Stillpoint Aromatics offers comprehensive Aromatherapy workshops that teach how essential oils are used to maintain physical and energetic health, treat chronic and acute pain, and reduce stress. Participants gain a deeper understanding of Aromatherapy and become proficient in various uses and applications of pure essential oils. These workshops use a hands-on approach where students create and take home customized aromatherapy products valued at over $200.00.

Asked why these courses were created, Brownley responds, “There is just so much mis-information regarding the safe and proper use of essential oils. We have over 22 years experience with the oils, are Certified Clinical Aromatherapists, and have extensive Aromatherapy training in the “French” medicinal technique, as well as the“English” blending method of using essential oils. We are passionate about this powerful alternative approach to health and living life in balance on all levels.”

Joy Musacchio states, “We both have our Masters degrees in Education, so teaching our Aromatherapy courses is a natural progression for us. We love teaching, and our teaching is inspired by the plants, trees, the farmers and distillers. We are continually learning and enjoy sharing our knowledge. Our workshops focus not only on the chemistry and therapeutic properties of essential oils, but also the energetic and vibrational aspect of the oils.

Each of the workshops will focus in-depth on the therapeutic and energetic uses of 25 different oils. The essential oils chosen are specific to the time of the year and the season’s energy. Students can take one, two, three or all four of the workshops. There are no prerequisites and the workshops can be taken in any order. If a student has already attended one of the four, the cost of the remaining workshops is $325.

The next workshop in the series is January 20-22, 2012. With the long awaited arrival of 2012, this workshop will focus on essential oils for “new beginnings” and bringing in the new energy of 2012. Participants will learn how to integrate pure essential oils into their life – to work with the new energies for physical, emotional and spiritual well being.

About Stillpoint Aromatics
Stillpoint Aromatics, based in Sedona, AZ, specializes in genuine and authentic, pure essential oils, aromatherapy consultations, and aromatherapy workshops.

Full Speed Ahead for Postgraduate Employment

Leave a comment

According to a new study, Rising Wage Inequality and Postgraduate Education compiled by economist lecturers and researchers Joanne Lindley of The University of Surrey, and Stephen Machin of University College London, there are some interesting distinctions to be made between first degree graduate employment and postgraduate.

Students studying postgraduate programmes have more than doubled in the UK since 1996, from 4% to 11% in 2009. There has also been a steady increase in the share of postgraduate employment in the UK, rising from 30% in 1980 to 37% in 2009. Alongside the increase in postgraduate employability there has also been a remarkable increase in the wage gap between classic graduates and postgraduates, rising from 6% in 1996 to 13% in 2009.

The possible reason for growth is due to technological change and advancement across many industries in the UK. These are industries that are more likely to be involved in R&D, innovation, computer usage and investment in computers. This is good news for postgraduates, as their technical skills such as, advanced numeracy, high levels of analysing complex problems, and specialist knowledge or understanding are increasingly required in these areas.

According to the 2010 Labour Force Survey, the top occupations for Masters graduates are: Secondary Education Teachers, Software Professionals, Marketing and Sales Managers, Management Consultants, Actuaries, Economists and Statisticians and Information and Communications Technology Managers. All these roles require the advanced skills that Masters graduates learn at University.

Finding the right Masters degree can be extremely time consuming – FindAMasters holds a comprehensive database of postgraduate programmes from across the globe, in one place including courses such as. To search over 17,500 Masters degrees including masters in Education and Social Work, visit the FindAMasters.com website and sign up to the newsletter for the chance to win a Kindle.

Travel and Learn with UIC

Leave a comment

UIC Languages gives students the unique opportunity to study and sightsee at the same time. Many students that come to London to study also want to experience the cultural history of the city – so, UIC tires to include social outings in its curriculum.

Students enrolled at the institute have the benefit of a great location, from which all of London’s major sightseeing venues can be accessed. In addition, the school’s certified teachers are always on standby to provide information on using the city’s public transport. At UIC, students are encouraged to enjoy their time in London, because this helps to limit the impact of homesickness. When students are sightseeing, they can practise their English and meet new friends – allowing them to enjoy the learning experience.

The school also arranges social outings that students can attend during the semester. Popular winter activities include ice-skating in front of the Natural History Museum and visiting the Christmas lights along Regent and Oxford Streets. During these outings students will mingle with English speakers and learn how to cope in a social setting.

By combining travelling and learning, UIC Languages gives students an opportunity to use their language skills in everyday circumstances. This practical approach to studying ensures that the students see language proficiency as a tool that can be used to make friends and negotiate business dealings.

Modern study methodologies are using the streets as a practical lab for language students. Today, the rules of English are still learnt in the classroom, but it’s out in public where this theory is applied.

UIC London on a Winning Streak

Leave a comment

UIC London have had a very successful few months, with two top awards being handed to them. The first was the British Council’s ELTon Award for Digital Innovation, and the second was the STAR English Language School for Europe Award.

The STAR award is a highly respected award which is voted for by people working at the sharp end of the language travel industry – that is, the agents who actually book people on to language courses. They know exactly what students want from a language course and work to find it, so they are great judges of quality in language schools. From the point of view of UIC London, what makes this achievement even greater is the fact that past winners have tended to be larger and longer-established than relatively small UIC.

Speaking of the awards, a spokesman for UIC London said:

‘We were delighted and very surprised to win the STAR Language school award. We were up against bigger and longer established schools in the shortlist so winning was a great confirmation we are doing something right. This award is voted on by agents from around the world and the main thing they are interested in is good service.’

The ELTon award that UIC received is an award for a specific project – in this case, the UIC Communication Station. This exciting course allows students to combine their regular English study with learning how to make and broadcast their very own radio show.

Language Students and School Develop Together

Leave a comment

As the year draws to a close, it is time to start looking ahead and setting goals for 2012. If learning a new language or improving your skills in a certain language is something you know you need to do, don’t put it off any longer. Although you may already be aware of the benefits of learning a language, you probably also know that it requires time and dedication. This creates a particular dilemma for anyone who lives here in the UK and needs to learn English. Strong English skills are necessary for success here in the UK but for busy professionals, finding time for classes can be very difficult. Those who live in London and want to learn a foreign language also face a dilemma in that without classes, they might not have much exposure the language they want to learn. Fortunately, one particular language school is making learning convenient and enjoyable.

St George International has been helping students achieve their language goals for almost 40 years and the school continues to grow. They have many evening classes that are perfect for busy professionals and have recently added even more. It is no coincidence that as SGI is helping students to grow and develop, the school itself is also growing and developing.

SGI has an excellent selection of English as well as foreign language courses. Recent additions include courses such as Business English, Business English Writing, Academic English Writing and English exam preparation courses. If you want to learn French London is a wonderful place to learn and with the support of SGI’s helpful teachers, you will be speaking French in no time. The same is true for anyone wishing to learn Spanish in London. With SGI, you will get the support and attention you need to exceed your own expectations.

Learn English Faster With An Online Blog

Leave a comment

Online learning is fast becoming the definitive way to learn. Virtual classrooms and online chats can be used as a way for students to communicate with each other outside of the real classroom and polish up their skills. Whether you love writing your own blog or reading others, blogging is a fun and informative way to continue learning after lessons are done. After all, what better way to pick up a language than through an interactive blog packed full of helpful tips and exercises?

Language schools, such as London based school St George International, use blogs to supplement their lessons and give students and prospective learners a daily dose of extra-curricular knowledge. St George has just revamped its hugely successful blog to help students out with their classes online.

Short daily articles are published on the school’s blog that cover up to the minute topics about London and current affairs. Through the articles students are encouraged to practice their English skills with free practice exercises, a focus on grammar or vocabulary in every post and a multimedia platform that includes video and podcasts. Using different media is a good way to improve listening skills as well as reading. There is also a focus on speaking with certain tasks requiring students to talk aloud in response to questions.

Using a blog for social interaction is another benefit of an online school community. Both students and teachers can leave comments in the forum to share views and information about what they are learning. Keeping informed about the school’s busy social calendar is also possible through posts made on the Student Life in London section of the blog.

The IELTS score is important to most students learning English and practicing your classroom skills online is bound to help. The St George blog is actually one of the best-known resources for information about how to improve your score. A series of posts from both teachers and other students about how to get better results in the IELTS speaking test has sparked off a vibrant dialogue. Indeed, since the discussion on IELTS began on the school’s blog there have been over 8,000 hits a month to the site.

St George International is a small language school based in the Central London district of Marylebone. It has been open since 1962 and offers a diverse range of English language and Foreign Languages courses. The school also offers residential courses on which students get the chance to stay in the small historic city of Winchester.

With the help of the St George online blog you can now learn faster. Taking an English course in London, the UK capital, is always a popular choice but for an Intensive French course London or Paris are great options. And if you want to take German lessons London is home to plenty of German speakers with whom to practise.

School Launches Online Resource For Languages

Leave a comment

UIC Languages was launched last month by UIC London, the central London language school. The service provides professional language training to both companies and individuals. Languages covered are English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Arabic.

Courses from UIC Languages are flexible. Users can tailor-make their course to suit them. They can be taught at home, in the workplace, or at the UIC central London school. Individual or group classes are offered, and open group classes are available at the UIC school. Courses can be booked for a minimum of 1.5 hours, up to 10 hours. After that, they can be booked in 10 hour blocks.

At the beginning of each course, students’ skills are assessed. This involves an online test, and an interview which can be done in person, or using Skype. The aim of this assessment is to determine students’ current skill levels, and to establish what they need to learn for. General courses are available, as are more specialised courses which aim (for example) to prepare students for work in a particular industry.

To book courses with UIC languages, whether as an individual or as a business, all users need to do is log on to their website, and use the online booking system to register. They are asked to input information about their preferred location, number of hours teaching they want to book, and any requirements for specialist teaching.

UIC languages provides those who use it with something different from standard, off-the-peg language school classes. It is a way for professional people to get the language teaching that meets their needs.
