Embassy CES provides a range of EFL resources for teachers, including: pre-designed Embassy CES teaching materials, supplementary EFL course books and resource books, authentic materials and audio-visual aids. While a suggested syllabus is also provided, teachers are also encouraged to bring and use their own materials. In some centres, we also run additional courses (for example: exam preparation and ICT) which students can opt to do three afternoons (or mornings) per week in lieu of planned activities.
