If you want to combine your language studies with other actives, the General 20 Course is the ideal program for you.
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).
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.
You will experience how English is spoken and used in many real-life situations. Relevant and engaging lessons will develop your understanding of grammar, vocabulary, idioms and pronunciation, and allow you practise the four skills of everyday communication: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
The Semi-Intensive 24 course focuses on language fluency as a main goal. The four major skills students will practice are reading, writing, speaking and listening.
