General English

General English courses are the most popular courses that we offer, and aim to develop our students' skills in Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.  We offer morning only classes, or a combination of morning and afternoon classes.

MONDAY - FRIDAY TIME
15 hours - General English 09.30 - 13.00

21 hours - General English
(no afternoon class on Fridays)

09.30 - 13.00
14.00 - 15.30

Morning

An initial placement test is followed by an oral test on your first day to help us decide the best class for the student.

We use both coursebooks and our own materials to build a good knowledge of English grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.  Using this information our students develop their understanding with interactive and educational classroom activities.

In addition, each class will have weekly and monthly tests to help students check on their progress, as well as tutorials in which teachers talk to each student individually to help review their learning goals.

Afternoon

Our afternoon General English classes are designed to give students more freedom to develop the skills which they are taught in the morning.  By using videos or real English materials, students will complete activities with their classmates which will give them a better understanding of the language.

Students will take part in making presentations, watching online videos such as TED Talks, or extended writing projects, which will all hlep them to develop academic and everyday skills in English.

 

A First Week Questionnaire on day 3.

Weekly self-study sessions during which your teacher will give you individualised work.

Tutorials in which the student and teacher negotiate and review learning goals.
