Course description

English is the official language of over 80 countries and is most commonly used among foreign language speakers. Throughout the world, when people from different nationalities want to communicate, they commonly use English as the preferred language. This is the reason why English is referred to as “the language of communication”.

English is also internationally recognized as the language of science. Most of the knowledge related to computers, tourism, or health by example is in English. Being able to use English in your research especially on the internet, will give you an unlimited access to knowledge!

Focusing on the four basic English skills(Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening), this course will begin with a placement test to allow the student to be placed precisely at the level to best learn English. We meet more than 6 hours each day and language skills will be learnt in modern student centered classrooms equipped with smartboards and tablets. The classes are fun, concentrated and vibrant with the teachers creating a nurturing learning atmosphere.
