English Language 15 hours per week (Code: DEG/GE15)
This full time general English course is available throughout the whole year, starting most Mondays. General English classes focus on reading, listening, speaking and writing, as well as fluency, grammar and vocabulary. Your teacher will use topical issues to help develop language skills and stimulate discussion. Role-play exercises may be included so that you can practise your English in “real life” situations.
We use various course materials which are provided as part of your course fees. You may not receive or require a course text book, especially if you are only studying for a short period of time. However, you may find it useful to buy an English dictionary to use in class. Your teacher can advise you further. We ask for a minimum booking of 2 weeks. Class size is no more than 15 students and we aim to mix nationalities to allow optimum conditions for language practice. Our classes are taught by fully qualified, experienced teachers of English.
You will be tested upon arrival or, if you are already in the UK, we can arrange for a test prior to the start of your course. This needs analysis will help us to plan your programme of learning and how you can meet your goals. It is important that you give us as much information as possible so that we can plan how to help you achieve your objectives.
English Language 20 hours per week (Code: DEG/GE20)
The course is similar to English Language 15 but the additional 5 hours per week allow you to focus more intensively on improving your language skills. Alternatively you could choose to take 5 hours of IELTS preparation.
