Teaching is our passion!

At ICOT we employ different teaching methodologies, all of which are learner-centered, to allow for maximum language assimilation. Where possible, we plan our classes based on the needs of our students and aim to develop an atmosphere of learning by the use of a communicative and collaborative methodology. Our classes are interactive, where students work together to develop their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. We believe it is important to incorporate 21st-century skills to aid in student development so we foster an environment of innovative thinking through think-pair-share activities, peer-teaching, and debate in order to inspire confidence and aid in fluency.
