Who We Are

DEA goal is to provide students with a welcoming environment that is student-centered and flexible to accommodate each student’s interests and needs. We believe learning through role-plays, field trips and group learning activities help students integrate and advance more quickly. DEA creates an atmosphere that encourages all students equally in self-expression. We build students vocabulary for formal and informal situations by increasing communicative skills through appropriate question and answer techniques and presentations by eliciting students to self-correct.
