With almost forty years of experience in teaching young students, Acknowledge Education (formally known as Melbourne Language Centre) is recognised as a leader in providing tailored English preparation courses in Victoria, catering to high school students. The curriculum recognises the dual need for students to develop their general English language skills while also preparing them for future study in Australian high schools. Morning classes prioritise English language and communication, with students grouped based on their English proficiency as determined through rigorous testing during orientation. Throughout the day, significant time is dedicated to exploring daily concepts within the English language in both classroom and educative settings, preparing students for their pathway schools. Students continue to delve into academic language relevant to the Australian curriculum in the afternoon, maintaining groupings based on their English proficiency levels. As students advance in their language learning, they will have opportunities to apply their new skills during monthly excursions around the city. Specialist teachers are employed to teach mathematics and science, with students introduced to the concepts they can expect to study at their future schools. Homework is an integral part of the student program and is monitored by the classroom teacher on a daily basis. Excursions are organised regularly and include a range of cultural and social activities such as visits to museums, sightseeing tours, day hikes, sports days, and barbecues. The course is underpinned by: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), including maths, science, literature, history, geography, art and PE Aspects of Victorian Curriculum Foundation–10 for EAL Effective use of educational technology for both individual and group activities Regular culturalsocial activities and excursions Excellence in teaching practice for all macro skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) and enabling skills (pronunciation, spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation) Regular liaison with a broad network of both independent and government pathway schools Teaching The teaching and assessment methods at Acknowledge Education include: Traditional classroom delivery Online support materials Consideration of different learning styles, abilities and preferences Group work and pair work, as well as individual assignments Interactive educational games and activities Regular formal and informal assessments and reportsfeedback
