The Good & the Bad - what did you like best? What least?

... , but teaching/book was a bit academic

I liked the different teachers and their different styles, it wasn't just one style. Although when there would be a teacher that would leave and I wanted to try to get them again it wasn't really possible.

 

I suppose the school is teaching for the certification levels which is an academic grammar style of teaching. But I think a different method would be nice to offer - children learn basically all the rules of grammar from feeling and practice, context, speaking and correcting by the time they are 5.

 

It would be nice to have classes that were completely different and taught through speaking/context/repetition.

 

Learning at GLS was difficult but only insofar as the new vocabulary, which was never really introduced contextually or repeated so there is much less chance of retention. I know most of this portion of learning should be left up to the learner.
