This course is perfect for learners who not only want to improve their English Language skills, but also want to experience everything that Jeffreys Bay has to offer. Each school day is divided into 3 lessons, beginning at 9am, and ending at 1pm - which leaves plenty of time to surf some waves and see the sights. We focus on the 4 skills of language; namely speaking, listening, writing and reading; and each day's lessons consist of both skills practice, and course-work. General English is perfect for all levels - from Beginners, to Advanced.

Besides all the usual language elements (speaking, listening, writing and reading), specific focus is drawn to 'life in general', making this course ideal for those who are embarking on a new career path; or distant travels; and would like to improve their English to benefit this journey.GeneImage of English Courses in South Africaral English
