OUR TEACHERS

Careful selection of teachersThe selection process consists of two personal interviews, the second of which is a sample lesson with a methodological analysis and subsequent feedback.

Thorough initial trainingUpon their arrival, all of our teachers undergo a compulsory set of seven training sessions to become familiarised with our Coach&Practise© method; for native speakers, there is also a training session titled Understanding Czech culture and language barriers.

Continuous development of teaching skillsEvery year we organize about 80 workshops where our teachers can gain further education in the field of foreign language teaching methods.

Detailed methodologyCorporate language training is a specific field, especially with respect to the frequency of training, motivation and the self-study options of participants. This is reflected in the Coach&Practise© method.

System of teacher hierarchyThe mentor (Senior Teacher) sits in on the junior teachers‘ classes and they have methodological and organisational meetings and evaluation sessions to discuss feedback from students…

The success of the teaching and satisfaction of our clients primarily depend on our teachers. The quality of our teaching team is

guaranteed in particular by the following:

There are more than 6,900 languages in the world;

half of them will become extinct during the 21st

century.

Variability and funA wide range of activities (role play, panel discussions, model situations, reading, listening, video demonstrations, exercises focusing on vocabulary development…).

How are the courses organised?

At James Cook Languages

All the courses are run by qualified and experienced native speakers and Czech teachers.

The instructors not only have experience in teaching foreign languages, but also have expertise in the discipline they teach.

Our company chose James Cook Languages to provide training of presentation skills in English to our salespeople. We were fully satisfied with the courses themselves and their output, i.e. the individual presentations of their participants. Most students have made discernible progress, which was our key requirement.

For Net4Gas, we prepared a concept of a series of four, full-day trainings aiming to prepare participants for the handling of the most common situations in which they use the English language at work. All parts of the How to

The course of Negotiation and Argumentation exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be only theory, but a large part of the course was devoted to practical exercises with feedback from the tutor, which I find very useful. The tutor is friendly, experienced and constructive.

For our employees, we prepared an academy of in-house trainings in English consisting of seven topics (CzEnglish, English grammar refresher, How to give an effective presentation, Telephone and e-mail communication, Business negotiations and meetings, Negotiations and argumentation, Time management). The individual courses were spread over the school year and took the form of 2.5-hour workshops. The academy concept received very positive feedback and will be repeated this year.

Why choose a language stay abroad with us

Specialist in courses for managers The schools that we work with know how to prepare courses for managers and employ great tutors who not only have excellent knowledge of the language, but often specialised knowledge as well.

Overcoming barriersIn any activity, the key motivator is knowing “that it was worth it”, and that the gained knowledge can be used in practice. And a language stay abroad gives you very strong evidence of that.

Maximum concentrationNo meetings, no colleagues, reports, superiors or clients, a minimum of phone calls and e-mails. Everyone is trying to do one thing – teach you a foreign language…

Rapid progressYour learning is truly intensive. The courses typically have 5 or more hours of teaching per day and all ad-ditional communication is also in the target language.

Supporting motivationIf you decide to study abroad, the decision itself increases your motivation to study. The course itself will encourage your enthusiasm even more!

Immediate useConsider whether it’s more efficient for you to take an intensive course and apply the new knowledge directly in practice, or to keep developing your language skills continuously with small steps.

Great benefitA language course abroad is a great combination of work and fun. Use it as a motivational tool for your best employees.

Trusted partnerWe are a proven provider of language services with more than 15 years of experience. We emphasise an individual approach and can satisfy your specific requirements.

Guarantee of school qualityKey features for us are membership in associa-tions, references, feedback from our students, long-term cooperation, a personal visit and knowledge of the school’s personnel.

According to extreme pre-dictions, there will only be 3 languages in the world in 150 years – English, Spa-

nish and Chinese

This was my third course abroad and it was the best of all. I tailored the contents to some extent myself - grammar, business and general language. Teachers were great, even learning at the weekends when we were somewhere out. Regarding the accommodation - if you want to please someone; “give” him the lady where I was. Completely luxurious service, again the best out of my three stays.

Milan CiberejPepsiCo

Accommodation - in one word, perfect - the place was close to the school and to the city center, and the family - well-educated, friendly, helpful and communicative.

Václav HorákCetelem

The accommodation was fantastic, the family suited me perfectly and was really an excellent alternative.

Miloslava KavalírkováLBBW

Overall, I was very satisfied. The content of the course suited me, the benefits can be great if I keep working and the teacher was ex-cellent. I must say that the teacher Francis Duncan was really number one. I‘ve never seen anyone who is constantly trying to adapt the course contents so much and te-aching to maximize the benefits for all the students. The advantage was as well that out of 6 announ-ced participants there were only three at the end, increasing thus the interactivity of the course.

Jan ChudobaMondelez

The course and the stay were definitely very educational. The lecturers were excellent and the content of the course was exactly as we wished. The accommoda-tion was good and well-located, near public transportation.

Helena KopřivováDHL

Regarding the school itself, I was really excited. The level of tea-ching was excellent, the teachers were always very precisely pre-pared for individual blocks, they were very friendly and lessons with them were super interesting. They advised us where and what is interesting to see and they gave us great tips on restaurants. Re-garding the organizational arran-gements for teaching - I have no complaint, everything was excel-lently organised!

We have been cooperating with JCL for several ye-ars. We are a very technically based company and highly appreciate that JCL translators know our scientifi c terminology and so we can be sure that they will make all translations in accordance with technical terms. Actions and reactions from JCL‘s side are quick and we always get a response to our demand within 2 hours. Meeting deadlines is an au-tomatic service.

Renata ŠtieglerováSchindler

JCL has been providing our company with language services for a long time – concretely they provide us with language courses and translation. In general, we are very satisfi ed with the cooperation, the deadline of translation is always respected and sometimes we use express service or translations with a notary ve-rifi cation and signature. In the case of specifi c requi-rements, JCL always comes with a quality proposal for solutions.
