Face-to-face learning helps those who need assistance in organizing themselves and
their studies. They can interact with their instructors and other students and share ideas
more easily. In some circumstances where active learning is involved, it is simply not
possible to carry out these activities on-line.
Remote
Self-Directly Study
Coming shortly to Svarna will be a variety of courses that can be purchased to study
anywhere. Self-directed learning allows a trainee or student to explore areas they
personally nd interesting. In addition to being more affordable and convenient, this
form of learning is surpassing classroom learning in many colleges and universities. We
at Svarna believe self-directed study and traditional classroom learning complement
one another. When used together, they can help our students learn and retain
information better. Over time, Svarna will release a wide variety of courses as these are
designed.
Where possible, and by request, individuals and small groups may be counselled or
instructed via Zoom. Online education enables the teacher and the student to set their
own learning pace, and there's the added exibility of setting a schedule that ts
everyone's agenda and allows geographically distant trainees to be involved without
having to travel. It also means it is possible to achieve a better balance of work and
studies, especially if a class can be tted into part of a work day.
All Svarna trainers and instructors are experienced in on-line instruction.
Svarna has a variety of teaching a training spaces in its facility in The Business Centre at
Burjuman. The space used will depend on the nature and size of the group. All spaces
are Covid-compliant. Masks are worn by instructors and trainees, and we following
regulations on social distancing.

Svarna is an authorized testing partner for Paper Based (PB) as well as Computer
Delivered (CD) by The IDP Education Limited Australia and was declared an award-

scores for its candidates and has native English speakers to re ne your skills and
speaking and writing, the two areas where candidates usually require the most

IELTS stands for International Languages Testing System. IELTS opens the door to a
world of academic and professional opportunity in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the

Countries of the MENA region are packed with almost 200 different nationalities. For
example, Dubai has become the stepping stone for many young non-native
professionals who wanted to progress in their chosen career. English is the common
medium to interact with others.
Svarna Institute has designed this course for fast-beginners or those whose spoken
English skills are a barrier to obtaining a job in this part of the world. The course helps
beginners to make a breakthrough and increase their con dence with the language.
The course emphasizes a thorough understanding of English grammar along with
useful vocabulary which helps learners to formulate basic sentences and express
themselves more clearly. It covers verb tenses, sentence structure, and proper usage of
prepositions, conjunctions, collocations, tone and lexis.
This course is at elementary level and prepares for the next level until students are
ready for the higher English pro ciency of the IELTS examination.

It is harder to understand spoken
English compared to written
English because idioms and
cultural words are often inserted.
You may be talking to a person
who speaks too quickly, or speaks
in an accent that is dif cult for
others to understand. To speak
uent English, a person must
know the meanings and
appropriate pronunciations of
anywhere between 10,000 and
20,000 words. Therefore, it is
extremely important to learn the
correct pronunciation and speak
in a well-connected manner.
Our intermediate English
language course is designed to
up-skill the spoken English of
non-native speakers, allowing
them to communicate more
con dently in English for social
contexts. The course emphasizes
conversation from everyday life,
supplementing this with useful
vocabulary which helps increase
con dence in speaking and
allows for more uent expression.
Good spoken English is the most important skill required to become successful in
today’s globalized society. This course is designed for intermediate or higher learners
and junior professional who are aiming to speak uently and use correct grammar.

Business English means different things to different people. For some, it focuses on
topics used in the worlds of business, trade, nance, and international relations. For
others it refers to the communication skills commonly used in the workplace, and
focuses on the language and skills needed for typical business communication skills,
presentations, negotiations, meetings, socializing, correspondence, report writing and a
systematic approach to anything in the eld of business.
English is now the global language of business and more and more multinational
companies are mandating English as the common corporate language. This course is
designed for advanced learners or executive level professionals who are busy in a fast-
pace business environment. Much of the professional business communication that
takes place within business circles globally occurs between non-native speakers. In such
cases, the object of the exercise is ef cient and effective communication and the rules
of grammar are observed.

TOEFL is the most accepted and respected English language pro ciency test in the
world. The test is accepted by many English-speaking academic and professional
institutions and is one of the two major English language tests in the world, the other
being IELTS. Those who want to go abroad for study or university entrance will nd that
academic institutions in over 150 countries accept the TOEFL test including top

purpose can take the TOEFL. This includes anyone applying to a foreign high school,
exchange program, community college, or for a student visa.
Svarna provides TOEFL exam preparation conducted by expert, certi ed instructors
who offer customized training to help you score more highly. The TOEFL IBT test is the
only English-language test to use integrated tasks combining the 4 academic English
skills — reading, listening, speaking, and writing — in the way they are actually used in a
classroom. Test takers are required to:
Read, listen and then speak in response to a question
Listen and then speak in response to a question
Read, listen and then write a response to a question
This ensures applicants are equipped with the skills needed for success in a higher

university classroom.

AP ® tests are college-level exams on speci c subjects and are administered in May
upon the completion of an AP course taken at a student's high school. At many
colleges and universities, a high enough score will earn the student college credit. In
some instances, earning college credit can mean an overall lower college tuition bill.
Many high schools give extra weight to AP grades when calculating your GPA. Taking
an AP class and getting a B is often a better choice than getting an A in a regular
course.
