The full-time General Course is intended to deliver 22.5 hours of English classes every week that cover all areas of language study evenly. The daily classes are divided into two broad types; the morning grammar and vocabulary sessions, and the afternoon conversation and listening sessions. This clear division of time ensures that equal importance is being given to each of these important areas of development, and lets you have a better idea of what to expect before you attend classes. Class sizes are kept to a maximum of 12 students, making participating in speaking activities more inviting for many people. Participants can expect regular homework and progress testing throughout this programme. The full-time General English course offers intensive study and practices across all areas of the language. The morning class focuses on improving your grammar with plenty of opportunities for speaking and using the language in context. Loosely following the syllabus of the course book, the school tries to give you what you can’t do easily in your own country: lots of focus on speaking and listening. While learning the grammar and vocabulary of the topic, you’ll get reading and writing practice. In the afternoon, you’ll practise English for everyday situations and use your listening, reading, writing and speaking skills to explore a range of interesting themes. The afternoon is a chance for you to immerse yourself in real-world English. Don’t be surprised if your teacher takes you out of the class and into town to complete a real-world speaking activity such as interviewing native English speakers on the street or ordering food and drink in a café. A chance to learn useful phrases will really increase your confidence in real-life social situations!
