Our methodology
Teaching English so you can use it.
At English Our Way we have developed our own methodology over more than 25 years training professionals and companies. Our goal is not just to teach a language, but for you to be able to communicate with confidence, fluency and effectiveness in real situations.
We combine academic planning, measurable objectives, continuous follow-up and 100% communicative, speaking-based training, so you progress in a structured and visible way throughout the process.
Academic planning
Quarterly objectives and a learning plan for every session.
Measurable objectives
You know what you will work on and how you are progressing.
Continuous follow-up
Assessments in December and June, and progress reports.
100% speaking
You speak from the very first minute, with continuous correction.
How we work
Six steps, one goal: getting you to speak.
Initial assessment and needs analysis
Your real level, your role and the situations in which you use English.
Quarterly objectives
Specific goals for each student or group.
Weekly learning plan
You receive the content before each session.
100% communicative, speaking-based classes
You take an active part throughout the session.
Continuous correction and instant feedback
The teacher corrects you as you speak.
Six-monthly assessments and progress reports
Exams in December and June, and a detailed report.
01Initial assessment and needs analysis
Every programme starts with a level test: oral, by phone, by videoconference or written. We analyse your real level in speaking, listening, grammar, vocabulary, reading and professional communication.
We also identify your specific needs: your role, your responsibilities and the real situations in which you need the language. With that information we design a programme adapted to your goals.
- Speaking
- Listening
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
- Reading
- Professional communication
02Quarterly objectives
Once your starting level is defined, we set specific quarterly objectives for each student or group, covering all the skills you need to perform professionally.
This system allows us to measure your progress objectively and adjust the programme so you keep moving forward.
- Oral fluency
- Listening comprehension
- Applied grammar
- Professional vocabulary
- Pronunciation
- Reading comprehension
- Presentations
- Meetings
- Negotiations
- Intercultural communication
03Weekly learning plan
Every week you receive a detailed learning plan with the content of the upcoming sessions. That way you can prepare, get familiar with the key vocabulary and concepts, and make the most of the class.
The learning plans are divided into several parts so the class flows at a good pace, and each one is part of an overall plan designed to reach the quarter’s objectives.
- Preparation before each session
- Key vocabulary and concepts
- Defined parts for a smooth pace
- Linked to the quarter’s objectives
04100% communicative, speaking-based classes
Speaking is the core of our whole methodology. Instead of theoretical exercises or long grammar explanations, classes are designed for you to take an active part throughout the session.
Practical simulations recreate real work situations in which you take on different roles and defend or challenge common positions in the working world. The aim is for you to use the language constantly and gain confidence.
- Debates
- Simulations
- Practical simulations
- Problem solving
- Case studies
- Presentations
- Collaborative activities
05Continuous correction and instant feedback
In every session the teacher provides continuous correction of mistakes, without breaking the flow of the conversation.
Instant feedback helps you build correct habits and gain accuracy without losing fluency.
- Grammar
- Pronunciation
- Sentence building
- Use of vocabulary
- Natural expressions
- Communicative fluency
06Six-monthly assessments and progress reports
To measure progress objectively, we hold assessment exams in December and June, which check how far the objectives have been met and how each student has progressed in each period.
At the end of each half-year we prepare a detailed report so that both the student and the company know the real progress and can set new goals.
- Speaking progress
- Listening progress
- Grammar development
- Vocabulary growth
- Pronunciation
- Participation
- Commitment
- Achievement of objectives

Methodology
Frequently asked questions
The most common questions about how we work. Have another one? See all questions.
How does a course with English Our Way start?
With a level test (oral, by phone, by videoconference or written) and an analysis of your needs. With that information we set quarterly objectives and design your programme.
What is the weekly learning plan?
A document with the content of the upcoming sessions that you receive before class, so you can prepare for it and make the most of it.
Are the classes really 100% speaking?
Yes. Speaking is the core of the methodology: debates, practical simulations, case studies and presentations. Grammar and vocabulary are worked on within that practical context.
How is progress measured?
With quarterly objectives, continuous follow-up, assessment exams in December and June, and six-monthly progress reports.
Do the reports also go to the company?
Yes. In company training, the reports let both the student and the company know the real progress and set new goals.
Is the methodology the same online and in person?
Yes. Planning, learning plans, correction and follow-up are the same in both formats.
