語文能力加強措施

語文加強課程:對於英文成績檢測結果成績不甚理想的學生,我們有提供語文加強的課程,採小班制,美、日語 : NT$49700元/100hr, 歐語: NT$57000元/ 100hr ,上課地點依學生住所所在地另行安排辦理。

先期適應訓練營

先期適應訓練營的安排,除有利於語文能力的迅速提升外,由於每日都會有團體活動,且團體活動的設計,都在促使學生必須要在彼此合作,相互照應,共同探討的努力下,才能在每個活動中,發揮團隊精神來順利完成!這樣的過程中,可幫助學生們輕易的彼此相互熟悉,打成ㄧ片,並進而成為朋友,使得學生在面對每天的學習挑戰中,不致會有因孤立無趣、不自在的感覺。

先期適應訓練營的學生住宿,不是安排住進學生宿舍,也不是安排住進須付費的寄宿家庭,而是安排住進同樣是義務接待的家庭裡,這樣做的主要目的,是讓學生在進入一學年正式接待家庭前,先有4星期左右的實際家庭適應訓練,逐步調整好適合家庭的生活習慣,以便與家人維持良好的互動關係,融入成為家庭的一份子。
