Core Elements

15 lessons per week (mornings)

General English (GE)

Our General English program is designed to help you improve your overall ability in English, in all of the main skill areas. You practice speaking, listening, reading and writing in an environment focused on communication.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced user of English, our curriculum is designed to get you talking and using real, natural English.

Pronunciation and correction of errors are key components of every course. Weekly tests and month-end skill evaluations ensure that you are guided through the levels towards your ultimate goal of fluency.

Intensive Speaking Skills (ISS)

If you feel you have learned the mechanics of the English language, but still find it difficult to communicate easily, our extremely popular ISS core program may be ideal for you. This is a highly practical course in which you can make swift progress in your language acquisition, making marked improvement in as little as 4 weeks.

ISS is not just a conversation class; there is a structure and a syllabus where students deepen their language awareness by discussing notions, functions, and topics. Grammar, reading and writing are used where necessary only to augment this communicative way of language learning.

ISS has a strong media component that ties in with field trips, role plays, and pronunciation practice, all of which enliven this interactive course, providing real life situations to learn real life English. Through regular practice you will soon be able to discuss a variety of interesting topics easily and with confidence.

Electives

Afternoon Electives - 10 or 20 lessons per week

Once you have decided upon your core program, you can choose to add 1 or 2 afternoon electives to focus on specific areas or topics such as Exam Preparation or Business English or you can choose to gain further practice in certain skill areas such as Pronunciation or Listening and Writing.

During you stay with us, you can change your afternoon electives to ensure you get the maximum out of your course of study.
