Just One of Our Many Success Stories...
We’d like to share a success story with you. Annie, who comes from Brazil, is completing her MBA. She was already a fluent speaker of English when she came to us. She was aware, however, that she needed more confidence in public speaking to ensure the success of her new business. After two courses with us her client base increased 100% and she is now tendering for a major project with a national franchise. She has gained such confidence in speaking and her command of English has improved so much that she is now taking on the role of presenter at business functions. You too can have this degree of success.

The Secret of Our Success - Learning English with the Immersion Method
The total immersion method of learning and reinforcing a language is based on the premise that language is a spoken skill, (actually an art), and that we need to hear it and use it, in order to really learn it.

The central characteristic of immersion learning is the total engagement in and focus on the language of the environment, to the exclusion of one’s native or original language; it is learning through being totally immersed in the language, the customs, the food , the gestures - the culture of the environment.

Total immersion in real life situations has the added bonus that the vocabulary of that life is a part of every interaction. At a meal, one immerses oneself in the customs, traditions, courtesies and language that belong to mealtimes, including discussing culinary delicacies and cooking techniques; at a business session one immerses oneself in the customs, procedures, formalities, phrases and language of the business world. Once immersed in this state one no longer translates phrases and terminology from one’s original language, but gradually imbibes those of the surroundings, and they become second nature, they live in the subconscious and are available for retrieval at any given moment, just as they are to any of us in our daily lives.

During Leading English total immersion language programmes, instructors, teachers and coaches are present and available at all times throughout the day, getting to know their student’s linguistic strengths and problem areas and able to work with these on the spot or else pick up the theme underlying the problems in the following session. The constant interaction between student and coach means that students can imitate and emulate the pronunciation and intonation of their teachers in diverse situations, and conversely, that teachers have ample opportunity for on the spot coaching, correction and training.

Socio-cultural events are central to every community and culture, and once again, Leading English total immersion language programmes offer diverse social and cultural events, in which, on the one hand, to practice the situation-specific formalities, phrases and functional language, and on the other, to connect to the history, culture and leisure activities of the country and its natural environment.

At Leading English language courses, we will introduce you to the historical, social and natural environment of South Australia, according to the seasonal specialties of the state. This includes wine-tasting at some of the leading wineries of this famous wine-growing area; observation of our unique marine, and wildlife fauna and flora; participation in the renowned Adelaide Arts festival, as well as formal and more casual social gatherings with locals and dignitaries – from the ‘Ozzie Barbie’ ( not the doll but the ubiquitous barbeque) to more formal dinners and cocktail parties during which participants mingle with the locals and practice casual conversation as well as formal introductions and exchanges.
