Long-stay Standard Intensive English

Students on Extended/Long-stay/Academic Long-stay programmes have the added benefits of regular monthly tutorials for the purposes of ensuring that they are happy with their progress and determining ways in which they can continue to improve their competence and effective communication. They also receive:

• free inbound transfers
• university placement service
• progress tests
• upgrades to business, executive and exam courses (on request and when available)

This course is for students who are seeking to communicate effectively in everyday situations and gain a sound understanding of the principles of the English language. The morning lessons are designed around a course book and provides the opportunity for students to improve the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as enhancing and increasing their active / working vocabulary and grammar knowledge.

By the end of their stay the students can expect to have improved not only their communicative competence, through their study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but will have also achieved a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.

This is an intensive course for students who wish to have the opportunity to enhance the skills of listening and speaking. The additional lessons per week provide the ideal conditions to further develop a wide range of vocabulary and improve your key communication skills. Grammatical structures and vocabulary dealt with in morning lessons can be put into practice in these lessons, allowing a greater degree of reinforcement.
