Will de Marvell

After university and a period working for a merchant banking group

I studied at International House London under John Haycraft

This was the beginning of my lifelong journey In communication skills

Over decades I have had the privilege of training a number of prestigious international companies which step by step enabled me to develop innovative and effective methods to install and progress individual and group English language abilities

Although my journey has been deeply influenced by several very fine academic minds, I see myself not as an academic teacher but as an ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING FACILITATOR

I have learned as much from my students as they have from me

Teaching and learning are interactive components in the acquisition of knowledge

I firmly believe that creating an environment of teamwork tolerance and encouragement in an atmosphere of fun Is the best way to learn

Therefore, I advocate lessons which are surprisingly different memorable and effective

My students are not passive recipients of information

They are the dynamic creators of their own success

My job is therefore tremendously rewarding

Don't hesitate to contact me to participate!

Programme Overview

Programme Courses

The English Language Development Programme has been designed to provide a functional language platform which can radically improve your performance and broaden your work horizons.

DESIGNING THE PROGRAMME COURSES

Following talks with your company's or organisation's Board of Management, Human Resource Managers, and Training Departments, we identify the people who need to improve and develop their English.

After comprehensive testing, we produce a Personal Language Profile for each person, showing their communication strengths and weaknesses, then formalise the English language needs that meet their job requirements.

We then design and recommend a series of active courses which lead the participants to an advanced use of English through a progress of development stages. The training modules are presented as Interactive Systems Workshops. The interaction between thought, language, and behaviour is an essential part of this teaching process.

CHOOSING YOUR PROGRAMME COURSES

The Personal Language Profile sets each participant's starting level. Some benefit from the Pre-Programme Preparation courses, which consolidate and repair their use of English, and re-activate past understanding. Generally, after that, students follow the path through the sections, choosing a total of five courses that satisfy their English language needs.

Information

The English Language Development Programme has been designed to provide a functional language platform which can radically improve your performance and broaden your work horizons.

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME COURSES

Over two to three years, participants go through a series of development stages in which the communication skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, in conjunction with grammatical structures, the phonetic aspects of speech, and situational applications, are developed to fluency.

On reaching fluency, participants take part in specialised modular courses tailored for specific professional applications. These courses are workshops based on real-life simulations with specialised project work, and implant communicative performance skills at a high level.

Those two phases can take place at your company location, or in Oxford, England. Individual functional task training can take place in Oxford for selected participants. These courses involve specific skills and exploit the language environment of the relevant professional field.
