Now that we are getting back into the language school routine, I thought I could share a little about it.
Our current class meets 4 times a week. We meet from 12:10 - 2:35, and have Wednesdays free.
Not sure if it's the norm, but all of our classes so far have been around 20 - 25 students.
We do a variety of things. There is always a text book, and normally a workbook to go with it. So some of our time is spent going through the text book, reading together aloud, reading in groups, sharing discussion questions. We have times where we talk about current events or cultural happenings. We have lessons in grammar (which I love, but I'm a grammar geek!). From time to time, we'll have a special event, like a day at the beach, or a time to bring food and share things from your home culture. We have homework, writing assignments, and opportunities to do oral presentations.
In our beginner course, the teacher would use some English to help explain things. But since moving to the next level last August, it is taught only in Norwegian.
Our classes have really been helpful in our language development. And it has been a good way to meet some many great people!
