61 English General Courses for adults in Manchester

This course helps students to build on their knowledge and command of English. It aims to improve the students in all areas of the English language: vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening and speaking.

Studying English in your teacher’s home offers a wide range of benefits, as does living in Manchester as a student. HLI’s home tuition programme lets you do both of these at the same time, with a commitment to 15 hours of private lessons every week. When you’re not busy levelling up your English skills, you will discover a Manchester that is used to welcoming international students from around the world.

Manchester has been named on multiple occasions by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Survey as the best UK city to live in, which is due to a variety of factors, including its reliable public transport system, exciting nightlife scene, a culturally diverse and welcoming population, among many others.

You will receive three meals per day, which are prepared by your host family. Just like the contents of your private lessons, your dietary requirements can be taken into account if enough notice is given to the school before starting.
With this programme, you will be completely immersed in the target language and culture. The private lessons will take place at the teacher’s home and are tailored to your needs and interests. The programme also includes accommodation in a private bedroom (Sunday to Sunday) and 3 meals per day with the teacher’s family.
You can customise your stay by booking additional lessons, activities, courses for specific purposes, private bathroom, accommodation of superior standard, airport transfer and close supervision for young students.

EC’s General English course in Manchester will give you the tools you need to improve confidence with using the language in a range of situations and contexts. When you’re not in one of their 20 classes per week, you will find yourself enjoying this iconic city, whether for its live music scene, nightlife, shopping opportunities, or football culture.

Apart from all that, Manchester residents have an established reputation in the UK for being particularly friendly towards newcomers.

You will be assigned to a group that fits your level of English ability, so you don’t have to worry about being out of sync with the rest of your classmates.

If you want to get serious about learning English but also want to preserve some of your free time for enjoying everything Manchester has to offer, then the General English course from Kaplan could be for you. You’ll develop your language skills for academic, professional and everyday life contexts, which is done by giving equal attention to improving all four of the main areas of language study: Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.

Kaplan asks participants to take part in a placement test before starting, to determine which level group you would benefit most from. Every 5 weeks you will take another test, to measure your improvement, and continue to ensure that you’re in the most appropriate group for your needs.

Class sizes are a maximum of 15 students, which lets the tutor get to know everyone’s needs more easily than in a larger class setting, and you as the student will also feel more comfortable when asking your teacher for any help you might need.
