Lesson Structure

Intensive Lesson Structure

We believe learning happens best when you can study at your own pace. This is why for EC Live, we focus on making students use and practice English, with clear a topic and language learning objectives every lesson.

With our learning methodology, students get tasks to complete before and after each lesson. This is why our online classes are more intensive. Before every lesson, our teachers gives you a short pre-lesson task to complete at your own pace. This task helps you to prepare for the topic and content of the next lesson, and gives you time to think about the questions you have for your teacher.

Each lesson is 90 minutes. In each lesson you discuss your questions and answers, learn the topic of the day, learn a grammar and vocabulary point. Our lessons follow National Geographic learning materials. Your teacher also sets up the post-lesson task you work on with the rest of the students in class.
