Our teachers, all from America, Australia, Canada, England and New Zealand have internationally recognized qualifications and their skills are regularly updated through workshops and training sessions.

The methods we use in the classroom are designed to ensure that our students are communicating and interacting in English at every step.

Every class has both a native English teacher and a Cambodian bi-lingual teacher. Students not only benefit from hearing a native speaker but also have the security of a teacher who can communicate in both languages if the need arises for further explanation. By utilizing this style of teaching, we ensure that our students understand the content of the course and can readily access a native speaker to model language form.

SIS teachers on the Intensive Program are specifically trained for teaching teenagers.

Students receive a set of classroom text books.

Materials include; student book; workbook; cassette tapes, CDs (If required).

This material forms the core of the syllabus and is supplemented by teachers from an extensive range of supplementary material available in our teachers’ office.

Also available to our Intensive Program students is the SIS computer and listening laboratory. Our laboratory is well equipped with modern educationally renowned software from around the world. Our teachers, who are specifically trained in methods utilizing technology, provide an environment where our students can practice their listening and pronunciation using programs and technology designed to challenge and stimulate young minds. This most modern addition to language teaching is currently at the forefront of contemporary teaching methods and is recognized as a highly successful medium.

As part of SIS’s assurance to guarantee quality and ensure our students progress, we regularly assess our students performance using both progress tests and exams.

Core English skills are tested throughout the term using regular progress checks and end of term examinations. This allows us to provide parents immediate feedback on their child’s performance in addition to identifying students that are experiencing difficulties with particular skills. This affords the teacher the opportunity to individualize methods and ensures all students are achieving to their full potential.

At the end of each course, students receive a certificate of achievement from SIS. This certificate is awarded to each student on successful completion of the course and is given to the student at an 'in class awards ceremony'. This certificate can be used to verify a student’s English skill. Students’ achievements at SIS are recognized unreservedly as we strive to maintain a sense of accomplishment and motivation at the end of each course. Our awards ceremonies are normally followed by an in class party and activities to celebrate the conclusion of the course.
