Our Approach

So, you want to speak English ….

Perhaps you have studied English at school or at a language centre in your home country. Maybe, you have scored good marks in English exams or progress tests. You might even have a certificate of achievement in English. But, when you have to speak to someone in English you don’t feel confident – you don’t know what to say. Sure, you know the grammar rules and you can write it down in English when you have time to think about what you want to say. But, when you have no time to prepare and someone asks you a question in English, you might feel you are out of your ‘comfort zone’.

If only …

If only there was a course that could help you. If only there was a friendly, professional school that could understand how you feel. If only there was a way to get you speaking English more confidently and fluently – the way you have always dreamed.

A dream come true...

Hold onto your dream! At the Edinburgh Language Academy we design courses to help students communicate in real English. All of our language programmes follow the same philosophy i.e. language is a dynamic, real-life medium of communication; not a school subject. With this in mind, our teachers are experienced at creating a fun, dynamic and motivating environment inside the classroom which helps you to become confident in using English for the real world outside the classroom.

Our experienced trainers use engaging language activities to give you opportunities to practise using your English in real-life contexts. Of course grammar is important but it is much more important to develop the language skills you need to communicate clearly, confidently and effectively. This is exactly what ELA’s English language courses will help you to achieve.
