To
talk about Oxford University is to talk about the second
oldest university in activity in the world and the oldest and most
experienced among the English speaking countries.
Among the personalities who studied at Oxford University are: the former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto, the economist Adam Smith, the scientist Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and many more Prime Ministers and political leaders representing some 30 other countries. Oxford has also produced 47 Nobel prizes.
Part
of Oxford's success relies on its capacity to spread the knowledge
that originates in its classrooms. In Brazil, Oxford University works
through Oxford
University Press, the largest editorial powerhouse in the world.
In
its attempt to bring their experience and excellence to Brazil,
Oxford University Press launched Achieve Languages, a network of
language schools that is rapidly spreading all over the country.
Given
its solid pedagogical and teaching model, Ahead Idiomas received an
invitation to become part of Oxford's plan to provide high quality
language courses to the growing number of Brazilians who need to
speak a foreign language as part of their search for a brighter
future.
It
is with great pleasure and pride that Ahead Idiomas wants to inform
the public that our school is now part of something much bigger. From
this moment on, we are part of Achieve Languages. We
implemented this change keeping in mind our intention to offer the
best quality learning experience possible, combining the very latest
in terms of language teaching with the tradition and reliability
achieved over several centuries by Oxford University.
Ahead
Idiomas will maintain its compromise to offer personalized language
courses which will be now supported by the best research and
development in education. The support of these institutions enables
us to develop a higher quality job and to provide all the conditions
for students to get the most out of their learning experience.
Beginning
now, Achieve Languages will offer students a unique learning kit, not
simply a student book. The new method provides 90 hours of class time
in our office, plus 10 more hours on the new online learning
platform. The result will be a more in-depth contact with the
language being studied as well as a more interactive learning
experience.
Additionally,
students will enjoy the same successful
communicative approach, which seeks to make the student able to
communicate with clarity and fluency in the target language.
Communicative competence is more important than the unique
construction of grammatical knowledge and memorization of set
phrases. Our classes will continue to be focused on the interests of
the student which will provide natural assimilation through human
interaction in real communication situations.

have by becoming a student, please visit
