Teaching Methods in Rennert International Schools

Experienced teachers work according to the Rennert Experiential Approach to Languages ​​REAL communicative methodology, developed by the Rennert International network itself. This set of methodological techniques implies complete immersion in the real language and cultural environment of American cities and the use of a foreign language in live communication outside the classroom, for example, at various cultural events (seminars, excursions) organized by the administration of language courses. This approach is aimed at the active development of speaking skills, starting from the very first lesson. Grammar is learned in a communicative context, and vocabulary is also enriched through face-to-face communication in each class with the help of an experienced teacher and mentor.
