ALC Tangier uses a communicative, student-centered approach to teaching English where students are continuously engaged in skill development through spontaneous interaction with peers. Conversation allows elements of contingency and surprise, impulse and revelation to find expression naturally and meaningfully in real time. By creating clear and authentic contexts for language learning in the classroom, we prepare students for relevant real-life situations they will encounter outside the classroom.
