With the General Course at EC English’s academy, you’ll come in for 20 dynamic classes every week (15 hours in total). Groups are available from the Beginner level all the way up to the Advanced levels, and your group placement will be determined by a test before you get started. Having 15 hours of study per week is ideal, as it’s more than enough to make considerable progress in a relatively short period of time, but also gives you the chance to take in the world-famous city of London, and enjoy everything that it has to offer residents. For those who are interested, the course also includes complementary workshops for developing your CV in English, or improving specific skills such as pronunciation. On the General English course, you attend a core of 20 lessons per week, which will give you a practical understanding of the English language and take you all the way to fluency. Your confidence will improve as we train you in all four communication skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

This course consists of 20 general English lessons and 10 special focus lessons per week. The student can choose from the following options: speaking with confidence, real-life listening, expand your vocabulary, and global awareness.

A combination of General English and a selection of specially focused classes will allow you to gain greater fluency and accuracy more quickly. What can you expect on this course? More Exposure to English Extra exposure to English in the classroom will help you to think in English, cutting down on time spent translating from your own language into English. Core English Plus Your Choice of Special Focus It’s your English course, so you get to decide what you want to study! You can choose from a number of options and focus on the areas of English that you want to improve. This will definitely help you make the most of your time on your English course. Maximum Teacher Contact Time More time with your teachers will help you to become more confident with your English. All lessons are creative and energising, allowing you to feel more self-assured. Intensive Focus on All Skills More time in class will allow you to focus on the key skill areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening, which will further develop fluency and accuracy through grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. Topic-Based lessons in Everyday Contexts With web articles, music, video and other authentic resources, teachers use ‘real-life’ materials that not only help you to understand how English is used by native speakers, but also help you to study English independently, long after you have left EC. Every lesson is based on a topic. The English you need to know is taught within the context of the topic. You will then be able to apply your newfound skills correctly in other situations. A Focused and Relaxed Classroom Environment Happy students learn better than unhappy ones! That’s not a secret, but it’s something that EC strongly believes. And so classrooms are places where hard work is carried out in informal and relaxed settings. Your ability and motivation will improve in a classroom with a great atmosphere.
