Quantum English

Why choose Avalon? For 20 years the answer has been ‘to speak English’. Our unique Quantum method means students have a greater opportunity to speak than more conventional teaching methods. Natural spoken English informs everything that we do from level-testing, teaching and monitoring student progress.

When students arrive at Avalon their level is assessed on what they can say and how accurately and naturally they say it. Pronunciation, stress, accent and rhythm have as great an impact on a student’s fluency in English than simply new vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Quantum course components

Welcome to Avalon: ‘The speaking school’

Quantum Books

Quantum books reflect what students and teachers do in the classroom. They allow students to record pronunciation, new vocabulary and grammar. The questions allow students to practise their speaking and listening and teachers can correct and help their students become more fluent from their answers.

New Work and Revision

Quantum classes are divided into two 50 minute sessions. The New Work class is where the teacher prepares students to practise target vocabulary and grammar for the first time. In the Revision class, students revise and expand upon target language with greater emphasis on fluency and communicative practice.

Progress Checks

encouraged to think of their English in terms of their practical speaking and listening skills. We have listening progress checks after every unit and speaking checks after every two units. Remember, you can combine your Quantum speaking classes with skills and exam classes.

Carlos Wagner Dutra - Brazil“

About three months ago I started looking for language school in Rio de Janeiro but I couldn’t find any as good as I wanted. After my wife suggested I go abroad to study, I found some good information on the internet about Avalon School. I decide to apply for a fourteen week course and I think it has been my best choice in English study. Now I can say that Avalon is the best English school in London because all the staff are very friendly and the school uses its own books. The method and the teachers are fantastic because we can improve our listening, speaking and grammar in a relaxing and funny class with a small group of students of different ages and nationalities.

I came to London to improve my English and I chose Avalon because they offer unique speaking classes. The teachers are very professional and they lead the classes very well. The lessons are normally very dynamic because we talk about a variety of subjects and we always have a laugh. Avalon lessons are different from others, they teach us exactly what we want to learn. London has changed me in many ways. I have learnt many things and have become a better person than before. I’ll never forget these times, especially every person who I’ve met here. I’m very lucky to have studied in London.

I need to learn English very well because in France I study in a business school. This school is very good. We learn many things. The classes are fun and the teachers are close to the people. I learn very quickly and well. There are many classes with different levels. One is a business class, this is very interesting for me. I think I’ll start from February. We also party together! Nothing better, I think!

I wanted to be good at speaking English, so I chose Avalon. There are lots of students from other countries so we can speak to them in the breaks and then go out after school. I think Avalon is a good school, the teachers are kind and friendly, they can teach us English very well. There are some receptionists that can speak many languages. When we have a problem, they always sort it out.

Akihito Miyazato - Japan

Page 15: Avalon 2013

The focus at Avalon is on speaking and for me this is the most important part of learning a language. The teachers are approachable and friendly and that makes the lessons engaging and enjoyble. In addition to this I like that culture is taught alongside the language. Finally, the methodology is effective and progressive which is better than old-fashioned methods. The vibrancy of student life that results from the numerous social events that the school organises makes the experience of learning a language more enjoyable. The best thing about London is experiencing different cultures from all over the world in one city. In addition to this I like that London is an old city full of history.

Julia Zapata - Colombia

I like my classes at Avalon because I meet a lot of students from different countries. When I go to class I feel happy because the Quantum method is a miracle! When I came to this country I didn’t speak enough English. I spent time at Avalon with my schoolmates and learnt English language quickly. Avalon School offers many events at famous places in London and these are really good activities to practise English with people. This is a wonderful way to improve.

Sercan Arin - Turkey

Page 17: Avalon 2013

I want to be a teacher in Japan so I want to be able to speak English fluently. That’s why I chose this school. In the Avalon education system speaking is a priority. In my classes, the teachers always give us the correct answers no matter when we make a mistake. I like the teachers. Thanks to them I feel that my English is improving well. I like the fact that there are lots of events at Avalon every month. Any students can take part in them if they’re interested. In addition, the teachers and other staff are very friendly. The best thing about life in London is being able to make lots of foreign friends and we can have a great time here!

Manami Takaishi - Japan“

I chose Avalon because it has everything I was looking for. The teaching method and the social activities are perfect for me. The classes are focused on speaking so you can have a friendly conversation with your teachers and other students. It’s pretty fun because you end up learning without even noticing it. Also, the staff and facilities make the experience even better. London is great because you can make friends from different parts of the world and after some time you realise that this experience wouldn’t be the same without them.

Avalon provides exam preparation courses throughout the year. Our experienced teachers have a special interest in academic English and support each student’s individual needs throughout the course. Regular mock exams and progress reports are given to ensure a successful result.

The exam courses run continuously so you can start on any Monday and study for as many weeks as you need. We generally recommend approximately 14 weeks to prepare for an exam but it depends on your level of English, which we assess before you join the course. For students who are not yet at the required level we recommend writing classes combined with Quantum English to help them proceed to the exam preparation course.

FCE - What is Cambridge First Certificate? FCE is an exam for people who need to prove they can use everyday written and spoken English at an upper-intermediate, CEFR B2 level for work or study purposes.

is officially recognised around the world by employers, universities and government departmentsgives you a pathway to higher qualifications gives you the confidence to use English in real situations

CAE - Why take Cambridge Advanced English?CAE gives an in-depth assessment of your ability and fluency at level CEFR C1/C2 and shows you are well-placed in dealing with complicated academic and professional tasks in English.

The course empowers you to:

communicate effectively at managerial and professional levelparticipate with confidence in workplace meetings or academic tutorials and seminarscarry out complex and challenging research

TOEICAn internationally recognised qualification that demonstrates a student’s proficiency in English, particularly used as an assessment of English in the workplace. This is the most widely used language test for professional English.

IELTSAvalon offers preparation classes in IELTS, which is the most popular exam for students intending to study at graduate or postgraduate level or for professional purposes. It tests the student’s ability both to understand and to use complex academic language and is now used globally for entrance to higher education courses.

A recent addition to the Avalon team, Rebecca is enjoying the experience of teaching a variety of students drawn to the Quantum method in their search for engaging English. The method is both thorough and expansive, allowing the students to grasp the meaning and use of English whilst getting to know each other as well as contemporary English culture. Friendly encouragement, correction and revision are constant, ensuring uniquely swift progress in students’ ability to express themselves confidently. The method specialises in initiating dialogue and discussion that is stimulating and interesting. As a result the classes are lively and the learning process memorable!

Our Teachers

Telford Wallace

I have worked at Avalon for four years and love it. The school is friendly and welcoming, which helps students to settle quickly and concentrate on their studies. It is fantastic teaching students from all over the world in the same classroom, and discussing a wide range of topics in exciting, interactive class-es. The school’s unique teaching method allows students of all levels to speak confidently within a few days by focusing on error correction and pronuncia-tion. Students are also able to support their speaking lessons with grammar lessons to help them understand the structure of the language. After they have learnt new language students can practise it outside the classroom in the best city in the world – London!

A valon School is situated in the heart of London on

Denmark Street, or ‘Tin Pan Alley’, fa-mous for its music history and former rock star tenants. Elton John, The Bea-tles, The Rolling Stones and The Sex Pistols all lived or worked on the street and it is still home to guitar shops, mu-sic venues and recording studios.

Denmark Street is within easy walking distance of the British Museum, the Na-tional Gallery, Leicester Square and the many bars and restaurants of Soho. Just around the corner is the bustling

shopping district of Oxford Street and the classical streets and squares of Bloomsbury.

Studying English in London is about much more than classroom time and book work. We encourage all students to get out into the city to practise and improve in real life situations.

We’re always happy to help you if you want some suggestions of places to go outside school because we want you to leave London loving the city just as much as we do!
