In 1986, based on the philosophies of the different existing schools, Pan American concluded that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The quality of instruction was being sacrificed to sell the \u201cproduct\u201d of language lessons.<\/li>\n<li>Generic courses were not meeting the expectations and needs of the students.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For this reason, Pan American developed effective language courses for the business world. We are innovators, therefore, we tailor the curriculum to your needs, requests, or special projects.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, our committment to performing an oral and written evaluation has helped us develop several levels of knowledge which focus on the different needs of our students. We have several teaching methods in order to adjust to the learning styles of our students.<\/p>\n<p>We offer you the advantages of learning another language: increased confidence, assertiveness when speaking, and professional success. We have the best cost\u2013 benefit, and we are confident that you will be satisfied with the results.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7167&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;slideInLeft&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668089905322{margin-top: 70px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;background-color: rgba(0,95,191,0.06) !important;*background-color: rgb(0,95,191) !important;}&#8221;][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668089700386{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading stripe_pos=&#8221;hide&#8221; stm_title_font_weight=&#8221;300&#8243; text=&#8221;Methodology&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:80px|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7178&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Our courses emphasize the development of oral communication skills, vocabulary and structural knowledge of the language. This is known as the <strong>Whole Language Approach<\/strong>. Using this methodology, the student is taught how to integrate vocabulary and grammatical knowledge to oral communication. In this manner, the student learns to build his\/her own sentences, rather than simply repeating something he\/she has heard before. Audiovisual resources (cassettes, CDs) are used as tools in the classroom. However, they are not used to replace the instructor as a teaching method.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;slideInRight&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668089914064{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 70px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;background-color: rgba(213,215,220,0.56) !important;*background-color: rgb(213,215,220) !important;}&#8221;][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading stripe_pos=&#8221;hide&#8221; stm_title_font_weight=&#8221;300&#8243; text=&#8221;Instructors&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:80px|text_align:center|color:%23000000&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;bottom&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1667586164919{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1667585923579{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]Our instructors are professionals with degrees in Teaching English as a Second Language, Linguistics, Modern Languages, Education and\/or Literature.\u00a0\u00a0Candidates who wish to join our team must undergo a thorough selection process.<\/p>\n<p>All candidates must present their academic credentials and pass two interviews in order to determine their personality and teaching abilities.\u00a0\u00a0The best candidates are chosen to form part of the existing team of instructors.\u00a0Before they begin teaching, they receive an exclusive training from Pan American Language where they learn about our educational philosophy, curricula and levels of knowledge.\u00a0\u00a0After they have completing this training and started their courses, they are continuously supervised in order to guarantee their best performance.<\/p>\n<p>Our team of instructors has ample experience in language teaching and they hail from different areas within education: the public Department of Education, private schools, universities and\/or technical colleges.\u00a0\u00a0In addition, they are bilingual, trilingual or even polyglots.\u00a0\u00a0This helps them identify the difficulties that students have when learning a second language.\u00a0\u00a0In Pan American Language, we are very proud of our team and we are pleased to have instructors who have been working with us for over nineteen (19) years.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7202&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;slideInRight&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668099864602{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading stripe_pos=&#8221;hide&#8221; stm_title_font_weight=&#8221;300&#8243; text=&#8221;Company Profile&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:80px|text_align:center&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; full_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;slideInRight&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1668089933812{background-image: url(https:\/\/panamericanlanguage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/PANAMARILANGLOGOgris.png?id=7165) !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]At Pan American Language Institute we are committed to your professional development.
