General English courses focus on the four main skills of reading, writing speaking and listening while developing each student’s individual grammar and vocabulary. Lessons are taught using a task-based method involving topics and themes from everyday life. We use a central course book and workbook for each level and teachers supplement these using authentic materials from everyday life including newspapers, magazines, and other books. We also use technology to enhance the experience including rich and relevant video and audio content from the internet and on DVD. General English 20 is a popular course as it allows students to supplement the 15-hour programme with 5 specialised workshop lessons each week. Workshop options will vary throughout the year but examples include: Pronunciation, Structured Grammar, Reading and Listening, Conversation Skills, Grammar and Writing, Examination Preparation (FCE, CAE, IELTS)
