AMIDEAST Methodology
The AMIDEAST approach incorporates the following teaching methods:
- Learner-centered approach:
This helps each individual meet his or her learning needs. Classes are based on a hands-on application of new theories and knowledge, thus providing the opportunity for transfer of skills to real-life situations.
- Interactive approach
AMIDEAST classes use a variety of training and learning techniques, including group and pair work, role plays, individual projects, case studies, and self-assessment.
- Collaborative Learning
Through this approach, groups of students work together in searching for understanding, exploring solutions or creating a product linked to their own language needs.
