English as an Additional Language

Students in Primary School

Step 1 classes are designed for children in the first grade of Primary School. Pre-Junior English classes provide a rich and rewarding first exposure to the English language through a range of interactive tasks. The course introduces students to functional language, key vocabulary, and the alphabet, building their confidence. Well-trained and experienced teachers make effective use of technology, songs, games, videos, and creative activities.

Step 2 classes are designed for children in the second grade of Primary School. Children are introduced to the English language through a variety of communicative activities aimed at building their confidence and fostering a love for learning. The main focus will be on the alphabet, topic vocabulary, and phonics. Well-trained and experienced teachers make effective use of technology, songs, games, clips, and creative activities.

The strong foundations laid at the elementary level will enable our pupils to take their first external Cambridge Young Learners Movers and Flyers examinations. Preparing for and taking these external examinations will not only be challenging and motivating but also good preparation for taking the Cambridge KET, PET, FCE and IGCSE later on (see table below).

With us your children will be taught to communicate effectively in English, and obtain valid qualifications that are recognised by British and European Universities. FCE and IGCSE are also recognised in Cyprus (Civil Service, Banks, etc.) for employment purposes.

Exam registrations – We are committed to making your child’s experience of taking a Cambridge English exam at the Institute, as simple as possible. It is therefore a prerequisite that we register our students at specific times, strictly following and meeting the deadlines as required by Cambridge, therefore we will be unable to accept registrations after the date and time specified.
