About Course
This is the course where all students usually start from. This course will cover the four areas of general English skills (Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing) and will help you develop the skills required for each level.
The students will learn to improve ability to:
- Understanding spoken English.
- Communicate in common situations using language functions and appropriate vocabulary.
- Read and understand high-frequency vocabulary and simple sentences.
- Write paragraphs with accurate spelling and punctuation, and understand and use grammatical structures accurately.
*General English outcomes vary depending on the level.
Regular Classes
All the courses follow a textbook. Teachers will also provide you with additional materials such as different textbooks, films, and websites, and sometimes, take you on excursions related to the topics or themes you are studying. You will usually have one or two teachers for regular classes and different teachers for special focus modules. Regular classes run four days a week in the morning and five days a week in the evening. Teachers will work closely with you to ensure all aspects of your language development. Progress tests will be conducted twice every five weeks, with a full term test every five weeks. However, some classes and levels will only be available upon demand.
Special Focus Modules
All the students will have one hour a day of Special Focus Modules. This means you can choose a specific area to enhance your learning in aspects of English where you need the most help. Special Focus Modules include: conversation, current affairs discussion groups, listening, reading, writing, grammar, punctuation, and so on. However, the Special Focus Modules we run when you are studying will be dependent on demand.
In this class, you will cover a new topic appropriate to your level, and your teacher may change for this last hour.
You will have the opportunity to engage in each modules at least once every two weeks.
