The Language Lab 




Language labs, very popular some decades ago, were later abandoned because they  broke down very often and maintenance was costly. However, they are a very efficient tool for ear training  and self correction   which is essential to learning  When properly used, they are an invaluable asset in interaction At the CEI C-65 we have an 8 booth lab which is absolutely necessary for consecutive and simultaneous  interpreters to be.

 

 



Our Coaches and Team leaders

The concept of COACH is associated with the follow up of the student's process.This means the teachers job is not limited to giving a class but accompanying the students along the path and supervising his learning until the goal is reached.
The courses are run by   teachers with an official degree from  Argentine Universities  such as Instituto Profesorado Joaquín V. González , Instituto en Lenguas Vivas Fernández  , Instituto Profesorado Técnico among others.  as well as by native speakers  with  a major in teaching  English as a Foreign Language from either American or British universities.
