GENERAL ENGLISH

Our curriculum is designed to help you improve all aspects of the language using a variety of materials and activities.

This is followed by a comprehensive progress test every six weeks to ensure you are fully prepared to move to the next level.

⇒ Our General English courses are accredited by ACELS.
LEVELS
Before your induction on the Friday preceding your course, you will receive a placement test to complete in advance. This allows us to accurately check your English level before you arrive. You will then complete a short speaking assessment during the induction itself. Once your level is confirmed, you will receive your final timetable, ready to commence classes on Monday.
Our Beginner course is designed for people who have never studied English before. These students study for the TIE exam several times a week. If you have never attended an English school before, this might be the course for you. We will take you through all the basics, from using the present and past simple tenses to ordering a pint of beer in a pub!
