Information on all courses

Every professional course involves some work on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing, including English for Meetings, Presentations, Negotiations and Socialising. In your language needs analysis you will discuss the approximate amount of time you would like to spend on the various language and professional skill areas. Your teacher will of course give you professional advice but your wishes are always respected and taken into account in every course! Therefore the content and direction of your course is planned with you and only you in mind.

Lessons for all courses are 60 minutes each with a 10 minute rest period and take place in the morning and early afternoon depending on the number of lessons you have booked. The exact schedule will be discussed and agreed with your teacher on the first morning however it is usual to have the majority, if not all, of the lessons completed in the morning. This schedule will enable you to maximise your free time to explore the city and surrounding area.

There will be a certain amount of homework assigned each day connected to the language covered. This provides a chance for valuable practice of what you have learned and allows your teacher to monitor your progress. The amount of homework assigned is agreed with you and should take no more than an hour or so to complete.

On the final day of your course there will be an opportunity for feedback and your teacher will recommend a strategy for future study when you return home. We invite you to keep in touch with us and your teacher as we are interested in your progress and of course hope to see you back at some time in the future!
