Course Description
The General English classes concentrate on improving every aspect of your English. We firmly believe in developing each student's communicative competence so that you are able to activate the language you already have, and build on this further in a stimulating and motivating environment.
In any typical week, you will work on developing and improving communication skills and the focus in the classroom is on using language in real situations.
In your General English class, you will work on:
- Spoken production
- Spoken interaction
- Listening
- Reading
- Writing
- Pronunciation
- Grammar
- Vocabulary
Levels
The levels of the classes range from complete beginner (A1) to proficiency (C2) and you will have a full language assessment before starting your course to find the right level for you.
Homework
On this course you are given one hour's homework every day. Our programme of studies follows a syllabus which ensures steady progress, and you are tested every Friday to give you the opportunity to check your knowledge. In addition, you will have a tutorial with your teacher at the end of each week to discuss your progress and make sure your individual needs are being met.
*Note: Our 30-hour intensive courses are recognised by the German Bildungsurlaub scheme scheme. For a list of participating states please click here.
