Practice and apply your English skills in real situations using different communication tasks The main course we offer is the "English Exposure Program" which is "tasked-based," meaning the students will apply their English in "real situations." The students do communicative tasks like talking with the locals, asking directions, how to shop and bargain, conducting business meetings or presentations, and other activities useful for the student's "English Exposure." This program is fully-customizable so we can incorporate TOEIC lessons, American Accent Training, Business English lessons, and others within the program . The course can be from 1 week to 4 weeks (1 month) or longer. We will send an online questionnaire and do Skype interviews for us to customize the lessons. We have our own original materials specifically made for the "English Exposure Program." However, we also use other types of materials or textbooks as supplementary. RLA promotes the use of technology and "paperless method," so most of these texts will be in electronic formats like PDF or EBook. Meaning to say, the students and instructors will be using smart devices like tablets, smartphones or laptops during classes within the students' accommodation. If students do not have either of these devices, we will lend one to them during the course. After the course, RLA will send electronic copies of the texts by email for free (original materials only). Students can choose and book their own hotel in Cebu, but we can also recommend ones based on your needs and budget. • "Guest House Nodoka," a Japanese-owned guesthouse with a homely environment and basic amenities. This is located along A.S. Fortuna road surrounded by restaurants and cafes. • "Diamond Suites," a luxury 3-star hotel complete with amenities, this hotel is conveniently located across Ayala Mall Cebu. Both accommodations are comfortable and suitable for conducting lessons and activities while being safe and affordable for students.
