About Us

Courses at Babel Language Centre® are designed for school children, adolescents and adult learners. Our approach to the teaching of language is based on the Communication Method. This means that we place some emphasis on the spoken language.

Instructors make extensive use of communication activities, situation dialogues, and speaking games. Oral communication activities are always followed up by relevant exercises in writing and grammar. Technological aids, such as interactive computer exercises and smart boards are also used for consolidation of the material.

Although we believe firmly that learning has to be enjoyable to be effective, we also know that it has to be wholesome. Therefore, our emphasis on structured speaking always has grammatical objectives and all four functions of the language are covered quite methodically in class (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing).

Our aim is to consolidate learning, create opportunities for developing fluency and inspire our learners with the love of the language they are learning. Prescribed textbooks and workbooks are regularly supplemented by the school's material distributed in class.

Our friendly instructors are all fully qualified teachers and native speakers of the language they teach. They are talented, conscientious and sensitive to learners needs with extensive teaching experience. Babel®'s instructors are also near-native, fluent or competent speakers of other European languages.

Classes at the Babel Language Centre® are small in size. It is our policy to allow a maximum of 10 learners in each group but the number rarely exceeds 8 participants per classroom. A minimum of 4 participants is needed for any course to be on offer.
