In our lessons we follow the Communicative Language Approach, in which the aim is to achieve the communicative rather than the linguistic competence through learner interaction. Although we believe that grammar is crucial when learning a language, we will not focus on teaching grammatical rules and structure but on using real-world situations to allow our students to learn using language for context and content. Nevertheless, we will be touching on some of the basics of grammar.
