This is a combination course of General English lessons and Conversational English. This course is designed for students who wish to dedicate more time to develop an increased proficiency in English in a relatively short period of time and the students who wish to maximise their available time to practise the spoken language after the General English course. Students will be placed in the appropriate level of the General English group according to the results of their placement test. The small group (only 6 students per class) Conversational English classes specifically concentrate on speaking, listening and pronunciation and typically involve debates, discussion, pair work (with other students) and presentations. The functional focus is on expressing opinions and preferences, disagreeing and negotiation skills.
When booking an Intensive English Course, the 10 conversation classes per week will always be held between 1.00pm and 2:30pm, even if you have afternoon General English classes at 15:00hrs (afternoon sessions).
