Conquerenglish.com was established by a group of experienced educators with the aim of sharing the enjoyable side of education. Within this platform, there will be various levels of instructional videos, topic explanations, topic details, and fun sections to make learning engaging. Additionally, Conquer English is designed as an interactive site where teachers and students can share their written and visual works.
At Conquer English, you will also find applications that provide the current usage of the taught language.
Visitors will become familiar with widely used computer-assisted proficiency tests through the training and online exams offered.
The selected English materials embrace the “Communicative Approach,” an eclectic and interactive approach to teaching. Our instructional videos are based on methods such as Total Physical Response (TPR), Task-Based Learning (TBL), Communicative Learning, Critical Thinking, and Reading. These videos are enriched with visual, auditory, and practice-based activities. Our goal is for visitors to learn English with enthusiasm and enjoyment through practical and repetitive programs.
Furthermore, visitors to Conquer English will be able to assess their language levels according to the European Language Portfolio Program.
