The idea behind Think English Club grew from recognising a gap between traditional language education and the skills learners increasingly need in their lives, studies and future work.
Think English Club uses world-class English-language materials as a vehicle for Skills-Based Learning, creating opportunities for learners to develop the abilities that matter beyond the classroom: critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, information and digital literacy, communication, collaboration, adaptability and independent learning.
What are we developing? Students develop relevant skills that serve them in the long term, understanding why they matter, where they can use them, and how they can continue developing them.
Will it remain valuable? Teaching evolves with learners, responds to change and prepares students with the knowledge, skills and adaptability they need for the future.
How does learning work best? Lessons reflect what research tells us about attention, memory and motivation, helping students learn more effectively, retain knowledge and make it meaningful.
How do learners become increasingly responsible for their learning? Students take increasing responsibility for their learning, developing the confidence, self-direction and skills to learn, apply and grow independently.
