Classes are dynamic, engaging and motivating, designed to activate and build upon your strengths, whilst also giving targeted attention to your weaker areas. Relaxed and informal classroom environments create an encouraging atmosphere to help you build your confidence, realise your potential, and advance towards fluency. **Learn by Doing** At EC, progress is maximised as you are encouraged to learn by doing. Our task-based lessons focus on the active production of English, promoting class participation and interaction between students. We provide you the targeted support to help you achieve your academic goals. Our assessments give you feedback on how you are progressing and where you need more help. **Improve Your ‘Thinking Time’** As your skills and confidence develop with support from your teachers, so too will your ability to listen, understand and respond quickly and effectively in English. You will notice these improvements most of all when you take your English outside of the classroom and into everyday conversation in one of our vibrant English-speaking destinations! **Expert Support** Your teachers are trained to deliver on-going support, feedback and care throughout your time at EC. You will be taught by at least two teachers, exposing you to a variety of voices, improving your listening and boosting your vocabulary. **Authentic Materials** We believe there is no substitute for authentic English, so in addition to text books, our teachers use real-life resources taken from newspapers, TV, radio and the Internet. The authentic nature of these materials will give you an appreciation of the richness of the English language used in a variety of everyday contexts.

The General English 24 course gives you extra classes two days per week. The extra time in class helps to further consolidate your English knowledge, allowing you extra time to practise your language skills. **What can you expect on this course?** **Real English** Our tried and tested formula for teaching English trains you in how to use the ‘real’ English you need to communicate effectively in an English speaking environment. Teachers take themes from textbooks and bring them to life in the classroom. You will learn the English that native English speakers really use and how and when to use it. We will focus on your overall level of English by showing you how to better use the English you already have, and then introducing you to new forms and patterns that will help to further your English ability. **Improve Your Fluency** While you develop a better understanding of English with EC, you will notice that your ability to communicate in English becomes more natural. Accessing the words you want to use becomes easier and so does your ability to listen and understand quickly. As you start thinking more in English (and using your new English skills) you will notice the changes in your level of fluency. **Topic-Based Lessons** At EC, we teach a range of topic-based lessons. Each lesson is accompanied by the language you need in order to effectively talk about the topic. This means the English skills you learn are taught within an easy to understand framework; the topics serve as clear and easy to follow examples. You can then work on applying your new skills simply, naturally and with great effect. **Support** Your teachers will provide the support and guidance you need to improve your English. Individual focus on your progress will be provided throughout your course. Teachers provide feedback, error correction and helpful instruction on all areas of your English. **Great Classroom Atmosphere** To create a good classroom environment, our teachers make sure their classrooms have positive atmospheres. Classes have a warm, supportive environment which help you to develop confidence in participating in all activities. **Authentic Materials** The benefit of having quality lesson plans and related curriculum resources to use in class is that it allows our teachers more time to focus on what’s most important – teaching you! You can expect supplementary materials to be used alongside textbooks to perfectly complement your lessons. **Learn by Doing** One of the best ways to learn how to do something is to do it. English language success is achieved through practise, self-perfection and appropriate modifications. You will have the chance to be actively involved in all activities in your class!
