ENGLISH LANGUAGE COURSE & OUTCOMES

The General English course aims to make you more confident and accurate in using and
understanding English.

To do this we will help you to learn independently, use critical thinking skills, solve

problems, develop all skill areas and grammar and vocabulary.

INITIAL ASSESSMENT

At the beginning of your course, you will take a Placement Test.

This helps the teachers decide which classes are best for you. We want the
course to be useful for you, so the timetable is flexible.

If you and the teachers agree (and there are a range of suitable classes
during your stay), you can take different classes at different levels. For example, Intermediate
‘Listening’ but a lower level ‘Writing’ class.

The most important thing is to tell your teachers how you feel.
