Class times are either Morning or Afternoon sessions, subject to availability.
Our General English courses aim to improve your ability to use English by increasing your awareness of grammar structures and forms. You will study all language skills – speaking, listening, writing, reading.
As well as English for international communication, we aim to include lots of natural, (British) English, drawing on the local area and British culture.
A large part of language ability is confidence, so our lessons are designed to build your confidence and provide you with lots of opportunities to use the English you are learning.
