Wizard Portão is an English language school in Curitiba, Brazil. The school offers English language courses to students who want to improve their speaking, writing, and reading skills in English.
Fast, efficient and fun, that’s how it is to learn another language at Wizard. The largest language network in the world can take a student who has never studied English to a level B1 of the Common European Framework Reference for Languages in only 240 hours. Wizard has the TOEIC (Test Of English For International Communication) certification as a pedagogical model and is the only language teaching group that has its own television channel to train its franchised network. The teaching method makes a huge difference for the wizard students, since knowing another language is much more than being able to get by with that language. Here, the communication process must be taught, learned and used fully, completely dominating the speaking, writing, reading and conversation skills. It has been proved that the best way to learn a new language is to always be in direct contact with the same. That’s why at the wizard, as of the first class, the student practices speaking in another language, showing immediate and practical results.
Another factor that is able to boost learning and make it more dynamic, fun and natural is the lack of blocks and inhibitions during the classes. Wizard knows this, and for that, advanced neurolinguistic techniques are used in its classes. These techniques are able not only to stimulate free expression and help the student develop his personal, cultural and academic aspects but also to notice his leadership and self-motivation.
The methodology at Wizard is also different from others by being the first to use the TOEIC international certification as part of its teaching method. With these international proficiency tests, it is possible to validate and prove the effectiveness of the methodology through the results presented by the students. The updated and technological didactic material makes a difference for the students learning the process. The Wizpen and the audio resources stimulate conversation and learning pronunciation, speaking and listening. The material also has exercises and resources that encourage the student to interact.
Wizard believes that following the specific characteristics of each student is of extreme importance so that the learning process is used to its best benefit. That’s why it developed specific courses for many different types of students, from children to adults, people who want to improve personally or professionally, among so many other reasons for learning one or more new languages.
