Frequently Asked Questions
We would love to hear from you.
Courses
What languages are offered at your culture center?
Тhe languages offered include Hindi and English.
How can I find out what my language level is?
To determine your language level, you will start with an online test before the course begins. Afterward, you’ll have a consultation with one of our teachers to evaluate your speaking skills. Once you arrive at the campus, you will be tested again to confirm your level. This process ensures that we have a complete understanding of your abilities before the course begins.
How do you assess student progress during the course?
At the start, you will take an online test to assess your language level. You will then have a consultation with one of our teachers to evaluate your speaking skills. Upon arrival at the campus, you will be tested again to confirm your level. Throughout the course, you will receive regular feedback from your teacher. Before completing the course, you’ll take another test to measure your progress. Additionally, at the end of the course, your teacher will provide personalized advice on how to leverage your strengths and work on any weaknesses.
What is the teaching methodology used in your courses?
Our teaching methodology combines several effective approaches to create a dynamic and engaging learning experience. We primarily use Task-Based Learning (TBL), which focuses on real-world communication through practical tasks like debates, role-playing, and group discussions. This encourages students to practice language actively and build confidence in speaking.
We also incorporate the “Teaching Unplugged” method, emphasizing interaction and immediate feedback. This approach fosters a natural learning environment where students can explore language organically, focusing on their needs and interests.
Additionally, we integrate traditional grammar instruction with contextual learning, using authentic materials such as local media and cultural resources. This holistic approach helps students connect language structures with real-life situations, enhancing their overall comprehension and fluency.
What can I expect from a typical week at Dubkii?
At Dubkii India, our language courses are carefully structured to balance learning with cultural immersion. Here’s an overview of the course structure, based on the sample weekly timetable:
Morning Sessions:
- Each day starts with activities aimed at reinforcing language skills, such as vocabulary games, listening drills, and writing exercises.
- For example, on Mondays, you’ll begin with a review session from the previous week, followed by speaking games and listening drills. Tuesdays include homework checks, new materials, and collocations practice.
Practical Learning:
- On Wednesdays and Fridays, we emphasize experiential learning through real-world practice. You’ll apply vocabulary by playing games with children (Wednesday) and engage in a quest in a local bookstore on Fridays.
Cultural Integration:
- Afternoon cultural courses in music, dance, and other social activities are integrated into the language schedule. Social and cultural activities take place in the late afternoons, allowing you to interact and practice in informal settings.
Breaks and Free Time:
- The timetable ensures ample time for rest and personal activities, with lunch breaks at noon and free time in the afternoons.
Yoga & Social Activities:
- To encourage holistic learning, yoga classes are scheduled in the early mornings, and there are regular social activities to foster community bonding and cultural exchange.
This well-rounded approach ensures that language learning at Dubkii is interactive, practical, and culturally enriching.
