About This Course
The General English Course aim’s to develop students’ social practical communication skills in terms of four English skills: listening, speaking and pronunciation, reading and writing including grammar.
This English course is a 20 hour/week course designed to give students the opportunity for rapid progress in all facets of the English language. Classes are structured from Beginner levels right through to Advanced level.
Morning and evening English classes are available. We teach students grammar, writing, pronunciation, and other basic skills. These lessons correspond with conversation class, where students can use the skills they have learned in a more practical, casual setting. Conversation classes will vary in theme, so students can use a broad range of useful vocabulary.

Duration: 4-72 weeks
