These courses are for adult foreign language students who are in the UK temporarily either for work or study and want to improve their English language skills.
You can learn English at five different English language levels, ranging from elementary through to advance level and you can start your classes on any Monday. These are good all-round courses to give a basic knowledge of English or to improve on skills that are already present.

Your lessons will cover the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking, as well as grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, all of which will be studied through communicative activities. You will have regular progress tests. The General English course runs all year round for approximately 44 weeks and is divided into 4 terms which begin in September, January, April and June. Students can start the course on any Monday. You will be expected to buy a course book which will cost approximately £15-20 and on some courses you may need up to 3 books per year.

How will I be assessed?
