Sponsorship

BELS sponsorship & community support:

Sponsorship BELS has a number of students sponsored by their benefactors who continue to be actively involved. By empowering a Cambodian adult or child with the English language and offering them a cultural experience at BELS, we hope that they will broaden their horizons, improve their earnings and living standards, and achieve greater self esteem and well-being  which will not only improve their own future but also that of their family and relatives. If you know of someone you'd love to help to a brighter future, why not sponsor them now? We can arrange for you to pay by the month, term or year. To discuss your wishes further, please contact us on +855 (0) 17 385 158. Community support  As part of BELS' commitment to the community, we offer all our staff the chance to study and improve their English for free.

Courses

English language courses at BELS

BELS specialises in intensive English language courses for adults and children of all nationalities. The minimum age of BELS adult students is 12 years with no upper age limit. For children the minimum age is 5 years. There are many courses from beginners to advanced and IELTS preparation. All offer intensive practice in listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, using a wide variety of course-books and audio materials. We do not use computers in class, as we believe in promoting the maximum amount of contact between teachers and students. BELS offers intensive tuition in groups with a maximum size of 20 students. There are classes at Beginners, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced levels, as well as IELTS preparation classes.  Teachers for Beginners are Khmer, Elementary classes are shared between a Khmer teacher and an expat teacher and all other classes by expat teachers. All courses offered are on a part-time basis at various times during the day usually totalling 45 hours over a 10 week period.  Further details of our English language programmes are as follows:- General English Language (GEL)  The GEL Programme is for adults and for children over 12 years with proven maturity and parent approval (see note below). The GEL Programme covers Beginners to Advanced level and IELTS preparation. “NEW Cutting Edge” is used throughout this programme.  Kids Programme - From 5 Years + Our Kids Programme has been developed using the “English National Curriculum Key Stage 1 & 2", in that we teach the English language through speaking, writing, listening and phonics.  We further develop students' language skills through games, songs and physical activities. Young Learners (YLP) - From 7 years + The Young Learners Programme has been developed in a similar way to the Kids Programme for those of a more advanced level, and for older and more mature children.  Under 15 years please note:  We had noticed at entry level testing and through parents' comments regarding other schools' programmes that some children were being held back in their English language education by not being unable to gain access to a GEL type programme until they reach the age of 15+.  On consultation with parents of children who have gained a high level score through entry testing,  we have placed them into an appropriate level of our GEL Programme. To date the students aged 12 and 13 years have settled in well and the students, parents and BELS teachers all agree it is a success and are very pleased with their progress.
