Course description

Our General English course is designed to improve all areas of your English, increasing your
vocabulary, enhancing your grammar, boosting your written work and strengthening your reading
skills. We encourage individual learning and independence through working alone, in pairs and
in groups. We often use authentic written texts and listening material from newspapers and
magazines, television and video, the Internet and other sources as well as using a variety of
teaching methodologies that aim to develop both fluency and accuracy in the language.
We use up-to-date textbooks and teaching methods, as part of a syllabus that is regularly revised
to keep our lessons as fresh and modern as possible. Fortnightly testing is also carried out so that
your progress can be checked and monitored and which highlights and which parts of your English
need extra help.

"This short stay at Oxford International shall remain as a precious memory to me"

Hong CHEN, student from China

I spent 3 weeks in Oxford International. I quite enjoy my stay. My teacher Graham is very patient and friendly. Besides, he has good teaching skills. Because of COVID, the class was small with just 3 students in total, which was great for me because we could know each other better and we often hang out after class. The school’s location is just next to the town center, it’s very convenient for shopping and for having a cup of coffee or tea. If i have chance, I won’t hesitate to do another short term study at Oxford International.

"It was interesting."

Darius Farokhpey Tehrani, student from France

I liked the classes, teachers were really nice, kind and, helpful. The school was in the centre of Oxford, which it was very useful to access to a lot of activities and places. The transport was perfect, no problem at all. Just the housing was quite bad, it was quite dirty in the kitchen, in the living room, in the bathroom sometimes. In my room, she didn’t change my sheets of bed for a month, behind m bed near the window, it was very dirty, like it was never clean.

I practically always eat the same thing, hopefully, at lunch I was able to buy some fruit at the supermarket. If not, it would have been terrible for my health I think. Anyway, hopefully, it was only one month, and the school was nice so in general, I had good moments. Before coming in Oxford, I thought the lessons would have been more intensive. It’s ok, I know I will be better with practice.

I thought my housing would have been more like a real family with me, I thought that we will talk more. But I often talk to the lady and her husband, and I never talked to her older and younger children, I only talked a few times to the other child. But in fact, the lady tried to by helpful, she was kind. I practically ate all my meals alone, it was sad.

"Greatest teacher ever"

Yaiza Bonet Hernandez, student from Spain

Oxford International Oxford it's a very cosy school, and its location is perfect in the city centre. The people who works there is amazing, in especial my teacher Graham Rutherford. But Anthony, Robbie and Zain are fanstástic too. I don't like my level in the classes, I think that I need more level for improve. I lear more or less the same that I knew before my travel.

I hope, could be more than one week next year, because, of corse, I'll back for more lessons and experiencies next year, at the same school.
