General English
Our General English classes develop all areas of the English language, including reading, writing, speaking and listening. Emphasis is placed on speaking, pronunciation and listening, making sure that students develop communicative skills quickly. The aim of the course is to help students to use English effectively in general everyday situations such as at the post office, out shopping, at the train station, or at the bank.

At commencement of their course, students will be given a placement test to ascertain the most suitable class for their proficiency level. Course books are a key resource and classes are supplemented by authentic and graded teaching material. Audio-visual equipment, overhead projectors and computers are all utilised in delivering the best quality courses.
Students will have a monthly meeting with their class lecturer discussing both pastoral and academic development. This meeting is also an opportunity for students to discuss their strengths and weaknesses in English and negotiate recommendations for further study. Assessment is ongoing and students will be given mid-course and end of course exams.
