GENERAL ENGLISH
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Our General English courses are designed for people who want to learn English for further study, work or pleasure, or for those who simply want to be more effective and confident with their use of the English language.
Our lessons cover all of the key study areas: listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary, which are covered through tuition in the core sessions. Extended learning of 25 & 30 lessons includes additional vocabulary and grammar activities alongside a range of communicative activities designed to help you develop confidence and fluency. Our 40 lesson super- intensive option will help you to improve your language skills faster.
Regular homework and self-study activities are provided to help students to consolidate the knowledge they have learnt in class.
COURSE CONTENT
The teachers use a range of different methods and activities to help students learn and use the language more efficiently. In addition to a core course book, a range of supplementary materials and activities are used to provide additional practice.
We monitor students’ progress through weekly formative tests and regular tutorials, which are designed to help the teachers to identify students’ learning needs and highlight progress.
