Intensive General English Course

Kursbeskrivning

The morning is divided into two parts and two teachers usually share the class. The course is designed to improve students’ abilities to use language accurately and fluently while concentrating on the skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing. The course is based on the most up-to-date methodology, course books and authentic materials.
The afternoon class concentrates on authentic spoken and written English using newspaper, magazine and video as well as the students’ own material in order to develop communication skills. Colloquial language, idioms and increased vocabulary will enable you to communicate effectively in real life situations. The main objective of the Intensive Course is to develop communication skills at an accelerated rate and improve your competence in using English in everyday social situations.
