This is the School's main General English course and all four language skills are covered: reading, writing, speaking and listening, with a balance of language structure (grammar) and practical usage. It aims to increase learner's confidence in communicating effectively in English, while ensuring that classes are fun and interesting as well as educationally stimulating.
The Standard Course, which students can join on any Monday, focuses primarily on the key skills areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing, while underlying this is the emphasis on the communicative approach in which we encourage students to develop conversational fluency. This course takes place every morning throughout the year and would suit anyone wishing to have more free time in the afternoons to devote to private study or exploration of the local area.
The Intensive Course consists of General English in the mornings (as specified for the Standard Course) and a choice of either "Skills for Social Interactions, Travel & Work" or "Business English". This "Lifeskills" or "Business English" approach in the afternoons enables a varied course programme catering to particular needs and preferences.

How long should I study?
The minimum duration for a language course is usually two weeks, but students benefit the most starting from the 3rd and 4th weeks of their language course, after they get used to the new environment. By this time, the early distractions are over and the student has "settled in". The average student takes about 12 weeks of language studies abroad.
