Valbin language classes provide instruction to a client on a foreign language based on the level of the acquired knowledge in that specific language. A placement test is taken prior to start of the course to best determine a client’s level of the foreign language by an instructor of Valbin. Based on the placement test, the student of the language is assigned in the beginner’s, intermediate or advanced level courses. A beginner’s course entails basic conversational and grammar knowledge in that foreign language. An intermediate level class aims to offer to client the ability to reach high proficiency (near fluency) in spoken and written aspects of the language. Advanced level of the language entails ability to think in that language, read and comment foreign literature and learn that countries history and traditions.
Valbin has offered customized language training in the above three levels organized in a classroom setting and often involves video, audio tapes as well as guests of the spoken language to practice the language skills and the conversational aspects of the language. We have an extensive cadre of instructors, lecturers, and educational professionals with advanced university degrees who are available to custom-design an educational program for foreign language instruction, training and cultural awareness. Each instructor is selected based on their past experience as language instructors with at least five years of teaching, the level they can teach (beginners, intermediate or advanced )and the age that they have experience teaching (young students or professionals). Instructor screening and vetting includes checking past performance references.
Corporate management monitor the performance of each instructor by receiving performance evaluations from its students at the end of each class. This allows Valbin to reflect upon and improve its level of teaching, ensure client satisfaction and that classroom POIN objectives were met. A program manager supervises all teaching classes and randomly attends ongoing sessions to ensure quality services and that the class is taught according to the goals set by client. The educational “product” can include printed materials, inter-active software and curriculum to be presented by Valbin personnel or client staff. In addition to foreign language training, Valbin also offers educational materials which are extended to our clients in support of training services at clients cost.
