General English
Belfast
The general English classes are aimed at helping you improve your English. Rather than look at what you have done in the past, teachers look at what you know now, or more specifically, what you can do. They use a wide range of material – from various course books to authentic material – to make the English lessons as engaging and relevant to you as possible.
Lessons per week: 20 (55 minutes per lesson)
General English Intensive
Belfast
This is a more intensive General English course consisting of 25 lessons per week for those students who want extra tuition hours. Again, rather than look at what you have done in the past teachers look at what you know now and what you can do. The extra hours of tuition will allow you to further work on areas for improvement identified by your teacher.
As the name suggests, intensive English courses are best for students who would like to make progress quickly. For instance, many students choose to take an intensive course when they are aiming towards a specific goal, like a new job or educational course. Intensive courses are also popular with students who have limited time throughout the year to spend taking English lessons. Maximising the number of weekly teaching hours is an excellent way to fit learning English into your schedule, for instance if you have limited vacation days throughout the year.
Lessons per week: 25 (55 minutes per lesson)
Home Tuition 15
Belfast
Includes accommodation in home of teacher. Private 1:1 classes.
It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times. It completely immerses you in the language you are learning as you put into practice what you have learnt during your lessons through social interactions and meal times with your host.
The Home Tuition Programme includes:
• 15 hours private language lessons per week
• Accommodation in your teacher’s home
• Meals and social interaction with your host
Choose the number of language lessons you require and personalise your Programme according to your needs, interests and preferences with a multitude of options and specialisations to choose from. Some things cannot be learnt by studying in the traditional way, fluency is achieved through living the language, using the target language constantly and in your everyday life. Culture, entertainment, leisure and current events are embedded in people’s language and these are as much part of the language learning process as the lessons.
Lessons per week: 15 (60 minutes per lesson)
Young Learners Programme
Belfast
This programme includes full board residential accommodation, 15 hours tuition per week, all course materials and certificates, social programme of one full day and one half day excursion per week plus local visits and sports, registration fee, return transfers to Belfast airport.Campbell College (est. 1894) is one of Northern Ireland’s most eminent schools. It occupies a 100-acre estate in east Belfast, close to the Parliament buildings at Stormont, complete with its own lake and forest! C.S. Lewis was a student there and the campus is said to have served as inspiration for his Narnia Chronicles.

Classes follow a communicative approach, focusing on authentic language that students can use outside the classroom. Each week is theme-based to ensure consistency and continuity and to give students the opportunity to see new language in context. Themes (for example, ‘You and the Environment’, ‘Social Networking’, ‘We Are All Scientists’) are selected to appeal to the students’ interests and to provide engaging classes that increase motivation. Each week culminates in student presentations based on that week’s theme.

General Language - Classic
Belfast
Includes accommodation in home of teacher. Private 1:1 classes.
For those learners who don’t have any particular hurry or urgency when it comes to improving their French, the Classic course offered by InTuition in Montpellier is the best option - with a very manageable 15 hours of lessons per week. In practice, your total exposure to French will be much greater than 15 hours per week, due to the combined factors of living in Montpellier and living with a local homestay family in their home. You can take your learning at your own pace, and perhaps give more of your time to exploring what the surrounding city has to offer.
Your homestay family will provide you with breakfast, lunch and dinner - something that will save you time, and also create the opportunity for you to sit down together and have a chat in French about life, French culture, or just the weather.
