Students will be split according to their level and study English for 15 hours a week (in the mornings).

This is an adult course with lessons will focus mainly on communicative English (functional language, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar) but will also involve some listening and reading.

45+ students may be placed with participants on our Intensive General English courses (who tend to be professional people in their 20’s - 50’s).

In the afternoons the 45+ students will participate in a program of cultural activities and sightseeing tours. A full day excursion is also included on the middle Saturday.

This course enables you to improve and use your English, make new friends, sample some British culture and explore Southern England.

This course lets you have a useful holiday!

 

You will have language lessons in the morning concentrating on improving your speaking and listening skills and providing you with the language you need to enjoy your time in Britain.

Course Times are from 9.15 to 12.35.
