The OISE Oxford Quatorial Programme

To choose the Quatorial programme is to favour a dynamic approach to perfecting language performance in speaking and writing situations. This programme is practice based using quasi authentic situations. A variety of sessions of different types are designed not only to help develop language accuracy but also to allow the participant to overcome inhibitions and to use the language eloquently in all situations. The overall aim is to turn the participant into an articulate English speaker and presenter.

 

Dynamic curriculum


A programme that embraces fully the varying dynamics and approaches required to master the different aspects of language fluency: plenary sessions involving everyone, mini-groups of maximum 4 participants, workshop sessions for specific performance related aims and optional tutorial tuition (1 participant per tutor).

 

It includes:

 

Quatorial Lessons:

  • controlled practice in language structures and lexis development with constant support and feedback to achieve a good command of: grammar structures, idioms, vocabulary and expressions
  • drills to sharpen understanding of written text through reading exercises  based on a wide range of materials: reports, articles, studies
  • coaching and practice in writing letters, reports, emails, presentations, articles
  • formal listening exercises.

 

Quatorial Project:

Spoken Performance Workshop:
