INTENSIVE GENERAL ENGLISH

This course starts every Monday and caters for students from beginner to advanced level. This course is for students with an interest in improving their English in a wider, general context, whether it is for travel, friendship or their career. The course is divided into morning and afternoon components, making it possible for students to study full-time (25 hours per week) or part-time in the mornings (15 hours per week).


Morning class is with a ‘core’ teacher and the emphasis is on communication and the use of grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. The core teachers encourage their students to tell them about their interests and what they expect from the course. The teachers spend time talking with students about their language learning so that they can adapt resources to meet their students’ specific needs.
 

Afternoon classes focus on the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking – putting the skills learnt in the morning class into practice. Students work as individuals, small groups or as a whole class on a range of activities to reinforce their morning lessons.



Friday Afternoon.

This is “Options” time, when each week students can select a different class from serious options such as exam practice, grammar and pronunciation, or fun options such as cooking class, sport and dance. This afternoon allows students to mix with students from other classes and levels, and to use their English in a different context. The options can change depending on popularity and the seasons.
