Museum of Knowledge defines the top three influencing factors that improve English language skills;

Students learning a language must know the level they have reached

(i) Students must know in advance the level they have achieved prior to embarking on English courses. This will help them select the best course according to their needs and level and this means determining whether they have reached an entry, intermediate or advanced level. As the Museum of Knowledge only focuses on intermediate and advanced level language learning courses for business, students will know in advance that an entry level course module would not be available at the museum.

What content is desirable for language learning; social or business-related?

(ii) The content of the language programme is important in assessing whether fluency is required for social or business purposes. The Museum of Knowledge offers English language courses that are both intermediate and advanced with the advanced language learning disciplines focused on business. For those students who wish to improve their English language skills for social purposes, students should select the intermediate level course framework. For advanced level English language learners, the chosen course structure highlighted on the Museum of Knowledge site will be business focused.

Language learners must define their budget

(iii) Students who wish learn English must define their budget in advance. They should bear in mind that language learning is a commitment, a little like driving lessons. Students will need to take several lessons on a regular basis to reach any level of competency. Budget will be impacted by these factors and is based on whether the language learner chooses face-to-face, online, group or individual one on one tuition.

Language learners must allocate time and dedication to the cause

(iv) Time and dedication is an important factor for all those who wish to learn English. A focused and structured approach will ensure that rapid progress is made with the assistance of a tutor. However students must be aware from the outset that additional time outside of the classroom is needed in order to practice what has been learnt.
