General English course
Best for combining English classes with a holiday
What is our General English course?
Our General English courses are designed to improve your English language skills and give you more professional and academic options in the future. As well as taking lessons, you will have plenty of time to sight-see and explore your destination.
The course is semi-intensive and available at all levels from Elementary to Advanced, with classes made up of different levels. The focus is on the four main aspects of language: reading, writing, listening and speaking, and all our schools offer extensive and varied activities programs to help you make the most of your destination.
GUARANTEE YOUR PROGRESS
General English is a great way to balance your English education with other activities, but we can guarantee you will improve your English if you switch to an Intensive course of 10 weeks or more in one of our US, UK, Canada or Ireland schools. If you don’t advance by at least one level of fluency, we’ll even give you an extra four weeks of tuition absolutely free. Terms and conditions apply
