Implementation
At Folkeuniversitetet, we use the "communicative approach", which is a learner focused teaching method. This means that we place strong emphasis on communication, interaction and language use in everyday situations.
The exercises utilize authentic, relevant topics and texts and a variety of communicative tasks such as problem solving, explaining, pair and group work, and role playing. This knowledge can be transferred to real situations you typically come across when you are travelling abroad or using the target language in other contexts.

All teachers are tertiary level (university level) qualified in language and/or education and are experienced in the field of education. All teachers have either English as their native language or an equivalent proficiency level.
