Learning and Support

At this young age children learn English much more easily, so starting early is best. Kinder students do self-study through gamification, and other fun approaches to learning English on touch-screen devises. For class directed learning or managed study with parents or teachers on hand, printed worksheets aligned to online exercises are useful too. In this way GEC 'curriculum & student services' support diverse models of blended learning tailored to any teacher’s or school’s needs.

As students grow older, they can handle more academically challenging curriculum. GEC integrates deeper conceptual learning and motivational techniques through gamification with a points system, rewards, healthy competition and online challenges. Constant feedback and advancement through GEC’s AI technologies helps turn young students into self-directed learners.

Since Middle School students have well developed cognitive skills, GEC blends language training with academic topics that mirror the student’s academic focus for their specific grade and age. Auto-adaptivity of 'lesson text difficulty levels' and online problems, as well as the “types” of problems the students face (Speaking, Writing, Reading or Listening), persestantly nudges the students to higher proficiency across all the skill areas.

In order to enter an ‘All English’ High School Dual Diploma Program, students need high functioning English skills. GEC prepares students for academic English in advance of entering rigorous courses, to familiarize them with the context of High School level courses and the academic context of such. Each course in the DPP is supported by the curriculum being available in four levels of English difficulty, with support problems to ensure deep comprehension and use of English at that age and course level.

In order to assist students contemplating an International University experience as a future component of their education, GEC provides both the US Dual Diploma Program along with careful academic counseling to help parents and students know how to properly select a university that will best fit their financial, cultural, and academic goals. GEC’s academic counselors assist the student in every phase of application, right through to visa acquisition and travel arrangements. Students are met at the airport and fully cared for on the host country end.

The teacher demographics that function under GEC’s sphere range from English teachers to academic teachers who are both (1) native English speakers and (2) local teachers who live and work in various non-English speaking lands. Through GEC and GEC’s partners, we provide both (a) ongoing training and support as well as (b) professional development opportunities for any teachers associated with our programs.

This training addresses the specific course delivery models the teacher faces, whether it be a blended model with a live online native English teacher with a corresponding in-class Learning Coach or the in-class Local Teacher teaching the online (or printed lessons) GEC curriculum.

Language testing involves three areas of consideration:

• First students need a language placement test to quickly and accurately assess a student’s current language level.
• Second, GEC provides an online training system that moves students to the next level.
• Third, GEC Provides a level test to confirm that new language levels have been achieved. GEC’s system intelligently combines all three needs that is comfortable both for teachers and for students alike.

Studying a second language in a first language environment is highely recommended and made possible by GEC’s Study Abroad arm. GEC provides study abroad and travel abroad opportunities, accompanied by online preparatory English courses to meet the needs of the short term excursion. Venues include East and West coast of America, University dorm accomodations or homestay hosting. We have programs in other western countries as well.

GEC’s curriculum and technology teams support our partners in unique ways. The ‘One Size Fits All’ approach to partner services is not necessary when partner specific customization can occur, and that is just what GEC offers. Due to GEC’s development posture and our technological tools, GEC can prepare customized curriculum or delivery models quickly and be more sensitive to the particular needs of our partners in that way.

This implies that GEC offers its own curriculum tailored to a Partner’s needs or develops a Partner’s curriculum in the GEC-curriculum format, transformating the Partner’s textbooks into online interactive lessons and problems in the 'GEC specialized' four levels of English difficulty, and ensuring that all problems exist in Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading formats.

Schools have to satisfy parents, teachers and students, which is not always an easy job to do. With GEC and the support services we provide, our Partner schools have more tools available to help them keep all stakeholders satisfied and informed. Reports, notifications, worksheets, tests and more are all prepared and automated to make the learning and teaching experience a pleasure. Administrator reports and tools make management easier as well. GEC supports an Administrative hierarchy whereby a Partner can see their school clients under a District, School, Teacher, and Student structure.

In language training environments, teachers are often left to search for programs elements that do not always match, and are required to develop auxiliary learning assets, worksheets, activities and games all on their own in order to make the classroom experience positive and effective. GEC provides all the curriculum and delivery assets in a coordinated learning program which teachers love. Making your job easier makes the learning experience more efficacious and positive for all. see curric - test paragraph

There are so many education programs available to parents, it can be hard to identify the quality systems that will deliver the proficiency levels students need in order to succeed.

GEC’s detailed reporting tools give both Parents and Students real-time evaluation updates as well.
