We know that the challenges facing your children at school are greater than they have ever been. That's why our English Language for Young Learners programme aims to help your children grow in confidence and succeed in their studies.

Our Young Learner courses are for learners aged 5 to 17. Classes are grouped by their stages of development and are divided by language level so we can focus on age specific language and learning needs. We follow a language through content approach where the majority of our courses (5-14) are based on a graded reader. Our courses aim to develop accuracy and skills that support school curricula.

Each course is designed to give students a chance to learn English through a variety of interesting topics and themes. They will work in pairs and small groups, providing opportunities to focus on real English structures and communication, across all four skills of speaking, reading, listening, and writing.

We centre our methodology around your child and base our classes on a variety of carefully planned tasks and activities that involve vocabulary, grammar, speaking, listening, reading and writing. We aim to challenge and motivate your child, whatever their individual learning style, and are committed to making your child’s learning a successful, enjoyable and positive experience.

This summer the Teaching Centre at the British Council is running special 15-day intensive courses for young learners from the age of 8 to 15 years. These courses are designed to enhance your child’s communication skills and creativity in addition to improving their overall English language ability.

The British Council Amman is offering year round YL courses.These courses will take place every Saturday during the academic year. We offer 24-hour English Courses for Juniors (7-9 year-olds), Junior High (10-12 year-olds) and Seniors (13-15 year-olds).

If you want to develop your child's English using the latest learning methods, our courses and tests could be just what you need. We believe that learning is better when lessons are fun, interesting, interactive and challenging. We have courses to suit young learners at all levels from elementary through to advanced.

Our primary courses are course-book based and enable topics to be explored in depth. The courses develop all major skills as well as vocabulary and grammar. A significant aspect of our approach is the building of our learners' confidence, learner training and helping them become independent learners and users of English.

Our primary courses are communicative with integrated skills. Our learners develop all four skills (listening, speaking, reading & writing) through a variety of communicative tasks and introduce and recycle a wide variety of language items. Language is also reinforced through a variety of songs, rhymes and games.
