The main aim of our General English courses is to teach students to speak English fluently and to understand English as it is spoken by native speakers. We provide a balanced programme of skills development (Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing and Grammar).

The Intensive program is available for students who would like to study full-time. It is a flexible ESL program focusing on improving your English ability by covering all skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking.

ENROLLMENT and PLACEMENT: Upon registration, new students do an oral and written assessment test in order to be placed in an ESL class which corresponds to their level of English. Each session is in two parts which lasts for 8 weeks.
