Intensive English
This is a practical, stimulating programme for adults who are serious about better English. It’s also an ideal foundation for Academic English.
Induction
A placement test and interview on Day 1 help us to understand your objectives and select the right group for you. Academic induction and training help you catch up on the English you’ve forgotten – and find the best ways for you to study.
Content
You work on listening, speaking, reading and writing – and vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation and situations. Other content includes presentations, interviews and note-taking. Learning how to learn is an important part of your work.
Progress
You have regular personal progress reviews – and tests. There is also daily homework.
Extra lessons
Additional individual lessons are available.
Intensive English is our most popular programme – and a chance to meet and work with interesting people from all over the world.
