Anna knows students are actively participating in their PVT classes at home because they come to in-person class with her ready to share what they have learned. Based on these interactions with students Anna believes they are paying attention and engaged with the material and teacher. According to the Academic Head, parents of EP3A students find the native English-speaking teacher to be very professional. They report that their children like their teacher a lot and find the classes interesting. Parents of the EP1A students also report their children find the PVT classes very interesting and there is a lot of interaction between the teacher and the students.
In addition, Marina believes that learning from a native English-speaking teacher exposes them to further English skill development opportunities:
“PVT helps them consolidate the content they have already learned. I even think they can learn something new that they couldn’t learn in my class through the review with the foreign teacher.”
Conclusion
Overall, Paul, Anna and Marina have been very satisfied with their students’ use of PVT for review. It has helped their students develop their English language skills with energetic and motivating native English-speaking teachers. The opportunity to review material in the PVT classes has helped students solidify their English language learning.
