The idea of opening of the language center SMART in Tiraspol belongs to a group of like-minded teachers who desired to provide better knowledge in the field of language study, to make learning fun and accessible. Based on long-term experience of leading universities of the world and the latest innovations of Internet technologies, the teachers of the Center chose the best methods of teaching, which help to create language environment in the classroom and develop all 5 aspects of a studied language:
- Oral Speech
- Writing
- Reading
- Grammar
- Listening comprehension
Every aspect is very important for acquisition of a competent foreign language, therefore our lessons are based on a comprehensive learning and multiple repetitions by means of different exercises. This technique allows to plunge into the language environment from the very first lesson, because even all the tasks and comments to a teaching material are given in the studied language, which yields high results in language learning.
