This course is designed for young adults who wish to improve their communication skills in English in order to enhance their employment and educational prospects. (6 levels from Beginners to Advanced)
* Students can choose from Standard Morning Course (9:00am-12:15pm / Monday to Friday / available at all levels) and Standard Afternoon Course (2:45pm-6:00pm / Monday to Friday / available at Pre-Intermediate & Intermediate levels only).
Combination Courses
Standard Morning + One-to-One (24 or 30 lessons per week)
Here we offer a General English morning group course with an afternoon 90-minute (1:00pm-2:30pm) one-to-one programme that focuses on individual learner needs. Students can choose to do 2 or 5 one-to-one classes per week as part of this course.
Standard Morning Plus (24 or 30 lessons per week)
This course combines the General English morning group course with an afternoon 90-minute Elective class. Students can choose to do 2 or 5 Elective classes per week as part of this course.
Electives are designed to complement the standard morning General English course. They will run for four weeks, except in exceptional circumstances. At the end of a 4-week run, students will be given a questionnaire/selection form featuring a choice of Elective classes for the subsequent 4-week period. Students will then choose, in order of preference, the class they wish to take. If we cannot offer a student his/her option 1, we will do our best to offer option 2 or 3 and so on.
Initially, students will be offered the following choice of electives: 1) Grammar
2) Vocabulary 3) Writing 4) Conversation and Pronunciation 5) Cultural Studies
