The Oakford Method

The Oakford Method combines tradition and innovation, offering flexible and accessible training with advanced technology. It connects students from all over the world, adjusting to different budgets and schedules.

The pillars of
our method

At Oakford, we take pride in offering an education that combines the best of academic tradition with cutting-edge technology. Our method is designed to provide a solid, accessible, and personalized educational experience for each student, adapting to their needs, ages, and professional contexts. These are the fundamental pillars that support our method: 4o mini

1. Tradition and innovation:

Our methodology works as a fusion of traditional language teaching methods, those that have proven effective over time, with the possibilities offered by the most advanced digital platforms. We have developed our own technological ecosystem that includes an intuitive mobile app and a virtual learning environment that incorporates elements of gamification, artificial intelligence, and data analysis.

These technological tools allow our students to practice anytime and anywhere, receive instant feedback on their pronunciation and grammar, and access simulations of real professional situations. Adaptive learning algorithms personalize the content based on each student’s progress, identifying areas for improvement and adjusting the difficulty to maximize retention and advancement.

At the same time, we maintain the most valuable aspects of traditional teaching, such as the importance of human interaction, contextualized correction, and real communicative focus. Technology does not replace the teacher; instead, it enhances their role and extends their reach beyond the physical or virtual classroom.

2. Democratization

We firmly believe that access to quality language education should not be limited by geographic, economic, or time constraints. Therefore, we have designed an educational model that democratizes professional language learning, making it truly accessible to everyone.

We offer multiple study modalities that adapt to different budgets, time availability, and personal goals. Our platform is compatible with any device and works even with limited internet connections. The content is structured in short units that allow gradual progress, even if only small time intervals are available throughout the day.

3. Globalization:

The international dimension is the third fundamental pillar of the Oakford Method. We understand that language learning does not happen in a vacuum, but within the context of an increasingly interconnected and multicultural professional world.

This commitment is embodied in our course system, which offers a global experience both online and in-person. Whether from anywhere in the world or one of our key cities, students have access to an international education that uniquely connects cultures, professionals, and perspectives.

Virtual speed networking events

Where our students build global professional connections while practicing their communication skills in authentic contexts relevant to their careers.

One-to-one tutoring with native instructors

Experts with direct experience in the student’s specific sector, providing not only language training but also valuable cultural insights on how professional relationships develop in different international contexts.

In-person Summer Courses

During the summer months, we offer intensive in-person programs in key cities around the world, where students can practice their language while exploring the local culture. These courses are designed to create a full immersion experience, with a practical approach that combines classroom learning with cultural and professional activities outside of it.

This global infrastructure creates an exceptionally rich learning environment that goes beyond simple language study, becoming true preparation for an international professional career.

4. Specialization:

The fourth pillar, and perhaps the most distinctive of the Oakford method, is our extreme sectorial and personal specialization. We completely reject generic approaches and have developed a meticulously segmented system that recognizes the diversity of communicative needs in the contemporary professional world.

Our specialization operates in two complementary dimensions:

Age segmentation

We recognize that cognitive processes, motivations, contexts, and goals vary significantly across different professional age groups. Each group receives differentiated pedagogical treatment, with materials, pacing, approaches, and objectives tailored to their specific characteristics.

Personalized language pathways

Our team of applied linguists, in collaboration with active professionals from each sector, has thoroughly mapped the specific communicative needs of over 30 different professional sectors.

At Oakford, we believe that the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and messages is key to effective and enriching learning. Each of our group courses, both in-person and online, is carefully formed through a thorough selection of students. This selection process aims to bring together people from different ages, nationalities, sectors, and experience levels, creating a unique environment where diversity enriches the learning experience.

Thanks to this approach, students from different backgrounds have the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences, creating a multicultural and multilingual environment that is far more enriching and allows them to prepare for challenges in a globalized world.

Comprehensive
learning assessment

At Oakford, student assessment is carried out through a comprehensive system designed to measure the key competencies that define full language proficiency. This approach covers eight essential areas for language learning and ensures that the student develops all the necessary skills to communicate fluently and with understanding in various contexts.

The 8 competencies we assess are:

Linguistic theory

This evaluates the knowledge and understanding of grammatical structures, vocabulary, and syntax, both in written and spoken contexts.

Listening comprehension

This assesses the ability to understand audio or conversations in the language, in both formal and informal situations, with different accents and speaking speeds

Reading comprehension

This measures the student’s ability to understand written texts, interpret their content, and extract relevant information.

Conversational interaction

This measures the ability to maintain a fluent conversation, demonstrating comprehension and the ability to respond appropriately in oral exchanges.

Oral expression

This assesses the ability to communicate clearly and effectively in spoken language, using correct pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.

Vocabulary and idiomatic expression

It evaluates the use and mastery of a wide and appropriate vocabulary, as well as knowledge of idiomatic expressions and common phrases.

Written expression

It measures the ability to write coherent and well-structured texts, demonstrating mastery of grammar, spelling, and clarity in written communication.

Vocabulary and Idiomatic Expression

It measures the ability to use digital tools (such as apps, online platforms, and multimedia resources) in the learning and use of the language, facilitating communication in digital environments.

Personalized level recognition

Upon completing your training at Oakford, you will receive a specific diploma that validates your level in the chosen language, following the standards of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR).

With this diploma, which certifies your language level as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, or C2, you can add an official accreditation to your professional profile. Issued by a prestigious institution like Oakford, it will open up new opportunities in your career and studies.

Skills Map

Your Language Mastery Guide

In addition to the Oakford diploma, we will provide you with a competency map that shows your progress in the eight essential areas mentioned earlier. This detailed assessment ensures that your level meets international standards, preparing you for full and professional use of the language.

The Skills Map displays specific performance by area and offers a global perspective on the student’s language mastery.
