Get your students to their learning destination
Help students understand what they are learning and why using the GSE learning objectives to build their confidence and increase their motivation. No other course is so focused on helping learners achieve the goals for each lesson and help show their learners tangible progress.
How does Roadmap develop communication skills?
Each lesson has a clear learning goal and every activity in a lesson is focused on achieving that objective, using carefully structured tasks, language input, plenty of practice, strategies for skills development and a reflection on performance.
The goals are designed to help learners achieve an outcome that they have to do in real life. They allow learners to develop a range of speaking skills, while the grammar and vocabulary input are designed to help learners achieve that speaking goal.
