Program description and what is included

General English 20

Our General English courses are designed for people who want to learn English for work, study or pleasure. We have students of all ages, from 16 upwards, from all over the world. The classes focus on all aspects of the language, including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students can add to these lessons in the workshop classes. These classes build on the language from the main sessions, with a focus on communication and practical skills. All our lessons give students the opportunity to learn and use English in realistic situations, and our teachers give regular homework to help them practice.

The classes use a range of methodologies and activities to help students learn and use the language. The classes use a set course book, and these are supplemented with authentic materials, video and interactive technology. There are regular progress tests and tutorials, which helps the teachers identify students’ strengths and weakness, and allows the students to check their progress in English.
