rses:
Our schools offer courses that focus on the four key language skill areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing, while considerable attention is also placed on pronunciation, oral communication and the appropriate usage of language in daily situations.
Our schools provide:
Individual English courses
These tailor made courses can be designed around your own requests or can be combined with language needs identified during a diagnostic interview and assessment. These courses run Monday to Friday and the content will vary according to your wishes or needs. These courses can also follow a course book or set curriculum. The pace of the lessons will be adapted around you and you may have different teachers depending on your needs or requests. Individual courses can begin any day of the week, so are also useful for those on a tight schedule.
Group
English courses
Levels are beginner to advanced with courses taking place Monday to Friday. Courses usually run in the morning until early afternoon, with a break for lunch. You will usually study your chosen language for a minimum of five hours each day focusing on the four main language areas of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Business English / Specialized English courses
These courses offer language study with a professional focus. They are mainly attended by people in employment, who would like to build their foreign language skills within their profession, or by students, who need to build language skills for their studies. Language classes usually take place in the morning from Monday to Friday. These courses are similar in style to traditional language courses, but focus more on building vocabulary skills while using common phrases and situations within a particular profession. Many of these courses follow language course books written for such specific purposes.
Private English lessons and intensive English courses are also available.
Examination preparation courses
Examination language courses are attended by students with at least an intermediate language level ability. These courses follow and pre set curriculum designed around the corresponding examination and take place in the morning from Monday to Friday. The number of hours in class varies from course to course, but is often twenty hours per week. Students who take these courses do so for academic or professional purposes. At the end of each course, students can take their chosen examination at an examination center nearest to their chosen place of study.

Exam preparation courses include Cambridge First Certificate (FCE), Cambridge Advanced (CAE), Cambridge Proficiency Exam (CPE), Business English Certificates (BEC), IELTS, TOEFL and TOEIC Courses.
Homestay Program
An ideal opportunity to immerse yourself in the language and culture of you chosen location. Most host families only speak their native language so you will get lots of language practice. It is therefore an ideal accomodation option for those who wish to maximize their learning experience.
