Why FOCUS?
Understand How It Works
All the language activities that we introduce in lessons and programs can be explainable based on the second language acquisition research and theories. You’ll be able to understand the reason why you work on the exercise, which helps you keep your motivation with clear short-term goals.
Various Ways to Keep your Motivation
Learning a language is a long way to go. Many tend to give up on the way even with a clear goal to achieve. FOCUS has analyzed learners’ motivation, and learning attitudes based on the experience of teaching over 1,000 learners in Canada. We will offer a variety of different instructions and learning methods to support your learning.
Advanced-level English to Effectively Communicate with the World
Based on our experience of offering language education in Canada for nearly 20 years, all of our lessons and programs are designed to equip learners with advanced-level English with proper grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary choice.
Facilitate Self-study
Focus’s “Escort Learning” system is to support you in and out of lessons through our learning material websites and communication app on the phone. This unique learning system aims at facilitating learner’s autonomy and building an ability to continue self-study.
