"A unique experience of study, encouragement and integrated team work"

Ahmed Remlaoui

After coming to Newcastle, I decided to study English, so I applied to the International Language Center, its great location, very close to the Newcastle center, and close to my residence, as well as near transportation, shops and restaurants. The reception was excellent, we studied two weeks for free, got to know friends from everywhere and enjoyed, and the teachers are very competent, and they use various activities to communicate information, in those days we celebrated national holidays such as the International food Day and birthdays for colleagues and teachers. We used to have meetings that helped us speak and improve our language. I loved studing and the atmosphere in school, so i went to study for additional days.
