course including an Additional English Elective of 12 lessons (double

All General English MAIN COURSES are 20 lessons (15hrs) per
week with 3 hours of tuition each weekday morning. Courses
follow a syllabus which is primarily designed to develop the four
skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening, and to increase
your awareness of how English works. There is an individual
syllabus at each of the 12 module levels. You will learn and revise
new vocabulary and in addition to the classwork you will be
expected to complete at least one hour's homework each day.
You will be kept busy!
INTENSIVE COURSES are 26 or 32 lessons per week ie 20 or 25

by either 6 or 12 lessons a week of Elective courses. Students
taking an Intensive 26 lesson course choose 1 elective subject
each month and students taking an Intensive 32 lesson course
choose 2 elective subjects per month.

choose from a range of courses covering a wide variety of
