Intensive English

 Stratford uses Bloom’s Taxonomy and the internationally recognized Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) to create student learning outcomes for each level. We consider what students will need to be able to do in an American college classroom (for example, take notes on a lecture, give presentations, perform research and cite sources properly, paraphrase information in a paper or a talk), and we use these skills as a base to design courses that use active and project-based learning. Our student learning outcomes are listed on every syllabus given to students, and grade reports include data on student proficiency levels using the CEFR.
