Each course consists of three weeks' tuition with five 3-hour sessions per week (total 15 hours classroom time per week).

Accredited by the British Council for the teaching of English in the UK

General English

We are happy to offer the following intensive General English courses:

General English Intermediate*
General English Higher-Intermediate*
General English Advanced*

* Courses are subject to demand

The emphasis is on communication in English, so you can expect tuition in writing, reading, listening and speaking. You will also have extensive opportunities to increase your vocabulary.

The focus will be on the use of the English language in real situations, meaning that you will be able to use the language you are taught immediately outside the classroom while you enjoy your stay in the UK.
