Course Levels

We offer English classes, from very basic to the most advanced. A placement test and a short interview are given at the time of registration to determine the student's entry level. Class time for most levels is divided between grammar/usage and listening/speaking.

2009 Courses - Effective  January 5,  2009

General English - 20 Lessons / 15 Hours Per Week

General English is our standard course which gives you a good solid foundation in all aspects of the English language.

The course provides the essential structures and vocabulary you need, using a course book and supplementary materials, while giving you plenty of practice in all four language skills: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

With regular Speaking and Listening practice and new language input, the course is designed to improve your level and to maximize your ability to use all the English you know. You will have two teachers, one of whom will be your class teacher who will look after your academic progress throughout your stay.

The General English course does not qualify for full-time study.

Semi-Intensive English - 24 Lessons / 18 Hours Per Week

The Semi-Intensive course gives you extra classes 2 days per week. The extra time in class helps to further consolidate your English knowledge, allowing you extra time to practice all of your skills.e

Intensive English - 30 Lessons / 22.5 Hours Per Week

The Intensive English course is the same as our General English program but with the advantage of two extra lessons in the afternoon (30 lessons per week). This gives you more study time, enabling you to progress and gain greater fluency and accuracy at a faster pace.

Advanced Specialized Courses

Courses at the advanced level are also available in TOEFL Preparation, Conversation, Reading, Vocabulary Building, Writing, Current Events, Business English and American Culture.
