Kursbeskrivning

12-week IELTS Progression Course:

These courses are designed to help students progress from General English to achieving a good IELTS result. The first part of the courses focus on helping students to improve their overall level of English and the second part of the courses help students practice their English for the IELTS exam.

The first 8 weeks of General English help you to improve your confidence, fluency and accuracy in using English. The classes provide a comprehensive coverage of grammar, intensive listening and reading exercises, vocabulary development and pronunciation and intonation. Many of these classes will be taught by specialist IELTS teachers.

The last 4 weeks are an extensive preparation course for IELTS concentrating on relevant skills development with substantial practice in all test materials including mock speaking tests. Our teachers are also IELTS examiners and so we feel we can give you excellent preparation.

Price includes:

15 hours per week tuition, course and teaching materials
free use of the internet
Saturday excursions

Students who take the IELTS preparation course can have their speaking test a day early, on the day before the IELTS exam.

"I found it a bit difficult."

Francesco Aquilino, student från Italien

It was my first international experience and as I attended the English course alone without any Italian classmate the first days was not easy. However I liked the teachers and location. What I didn't like with respect to the activities proposed daily held every afternoon was most of the time it is not followed and often changed.

"It was okay."

Marcel Reber, student från Schweiz

I had been in Bornemouth about 15 years ago and it was great at Beet Language Center! I finished studying there at "pre Intermediate" level.

After such a long time, I got in a class at upper intermediate level! I really didn't enjoy the global English lessons because I couldn’t follow them at Mayflower College. The problem was my vocabulary; there were too much words I didn't understand.

Another "problem" was an Italian guy in the class who talked, talked, talked and talked – and because of his speed in talking, it seemed to sound very good, but he also made mistakes just like the rest of the students.

Only one teacher started to really correct a lot of rubbish he (and of course we) made in talking! Unfortunately, I met this teacher at the second to the last day.

In general the teachers were good. My main problem was the level which was not appropriate for me.

I enjoyed the afternoon lessons about the aviation English, because I knew what we were talking about.

Jill Tyler, General Manager at Mayflower College responded to this review.

Dear Marcel

Thank you for sharing your comments and we’re really sorry that the time you spent with us at Mayflower did not meet your expectations.

We pride ourselves on our customer service and aim to treat each student as an individual, balancing your level, needs and expectations to create a valuable and memorable learning experience.

Let’s take a close look at your comments and see how we could have helped you better; it seems you feel that you were not allocated into the correct level class. Your placement test indicated a borderline score between 2 levels and after talking with you, the teacher felt the higher level was more appropriate for you to ensure progression over the 2 week period. With regard to the weekly tests, you scored within an acceptable range for working at this level. The teachers did mention that you had raised concerns about the level being too high for you, but felt that they could offer you sufficient support in the class as the lower level would have been too easy for you. With hindsight, we could have given you a chance to try this class and we’re sorry that we did not respond more pro-actively!

With regard to your over enthusiastic colleague – in any class there is always a mix of personalities and it should be the teacher’s job to ensure that everyone gets the chance to talk. It is sometimes difficult to control this and there is always a fine balance between encouraging fluency (i.e. building confidence) alongside error correction and sensitivity, so sorry we didn’t address this in the correct way for you.

Marcel – it was great to have you at Mayflower and we hope that if you decide to come again, next time we can make the experience at Mayflower a better one for you!

Best wishes

Jill & Steve

Visumsupport

Vi kan inte ansöka om visum för studenter. Dock kan skolan försörja dig med all dokumentation du behöver för att stödja din visumansökan.

Om du studerar i Storbritannien över 11 månader, så kommer du att få ett referensnummer kallat Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) som du överlämnar till Brittiska ambassaden tillsammans med din allmänna studentvisumansökan. Studenter som framgångsrikt har bokat en språkkurs och betalat avgifterna kommer att få ett CAS från . Var vänlig notera att Brittisk lag säger att CAS enbart tilldelas studenter som planerar att studera engelska i över 11 månader.

Om du studerar i Strobritannien i 11 månader eller mindre, så måste du ansöka om ett speciellt besöksvisum som kallas Student Visitor Visa. Som en besökande student, kan du inte arbeta på halvtid samtidigt som du studerar. Om du planerar att studera i Storbritannien i 11 månader eller mindre, så kommer ett antagningsbrev skickas till din hemadress via vanlig post utan kostnad. Om du önskar få ditt pappersarbete via expressbrev, kommer du att debiteras £ 50 när du registrerar dig.
