Our General English courses focus on improving your all-round English, and in particular your communication skills. Our focus is on students interacting and communicating with each other and getting you to use the language you learn to make you more fluent and confident in English.

In General English you will:

  • Learn to communicate effectively in English for travel, work or leisure
