English as a Second Language Since its establishment in February 2011, H3 Academy has served the most demanding clientele:

students and professionals who must make rapid progress in speaking and writing English. For some, their English skills will in large measure determine their quality of life locally and internationally. At H3 Academy, expert and professional instructors create a challenging and stimulating, yet relaxed and enjoyable learning environment in small classes of four to eight students. The result is unusually rapid advancement students have progressed from shy English users to confident English communicators in as little time as five sessions. More advanced students also thrive in the learning environments of the Academy. Indeed, through such programs as Intensive English Courses, H3 Academy has developed a specialty in teaching advanced students, who often have difficulty finding effective programs at their level.

Our Instructors Instructors at H3 Academy typically are seasoned ESL professionals with years of teaching experience here and abroad. Many have been trained in several ESL contexts and all have experience learning a second language themselves. In class, teachers pay close attention to the differences between written and spoken English, for example, between How did you like them? and Howdja like em? When students learn the right way English is spoken, their listening comprehension improves dramatically. Our instructors enliven classes and enhance students conversational ability by explaining frequently-used slang and colloquial expressions.

The Communicative Approach Drawing on the Academys Intensive English Programs, we employ the most effective and modern methods in the field of language acquisition. Through the Communicative Method, which views each aspect of language learning grammar, conversation, reading and writing as a necessary support for the others, students learn new vocabulary while enhancing their English communication skills in a discussion-based and interactive class. Class themes focus on high-interest topics that present language in context and stimulate conversation. This differentiates us in important ways from schools that fragment language learning into, for example, a vocabulary hour, a reading hour, and a conversation hour, since we adhere to the modern view that each aspect of language learning is a necessary support for the others.

Writing assignments are often given as homework to further build language competence. Grammar, vocabulary and idioms are taught using textbooks, current articles from newspapers and magazines and materials specially prepared by instructors to reflect student interest.

To Begin a Program Before beginning a program, each student is given a needs analysis form and a comprehensive written placement test. To assure that progress meets student expectations, each students instruction is continually monitored by the instructors. At the end of each program, an interview and exam provide the Academy and the student with a final measure of achievement and the basis for a Certificate of Completion.
