The courses at the Australian Institute of Applied Sciences (AIAS) have been designed around the learner so that all of their assumed needs are met. At the Institute the majority of class time is spent concentrating on English as a whole and students are encouraged to practise their English in authentic situations to make the language as real as possible. The core text is very topic driven, allowing the intricacies of English language to be learnt within context. During both morning and afternoon classes learners are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. Wherever and whenever possible a learner-centred environment will be created and the guided discovery approach to learning will be used. All the classes at the Institute encourage full participation in Australian life and special festivals and events are always announced and taught if appropriate.
