Entry Requirements/
Participants
Our Semi-Intensive
programme is intended for students
who wish to combine English
study with other activities
in the afternoon. Classes are
composed of professional people,
those already studying English
or other subjects, and also
people from a wide range of
other backgrounds. Many different
countries are represented in
the General English programme,
giving it an international dimension
which offers opportunities to
learn about many cultures as
well as British. Our classes
are suitable for all language
levels from pre-intermediate
to advanced. Please note that
we do not take complete beginners.
Course
General English
Semi-Intensive is designed as
a progressive programme of language
development, meeting the needs
of students who wish to study
for an extended (or shorter)
period on a mornings-only basis
and to combine this with other
activities.
The course focuses on the development
of the four main language skills
- listening, speaking, reading,
writing - and on the understanding
and appropriate use of grammar,
vocabulary and pronunciation
in English (i.e. sounds, intonation
and stress). Students are encouraged
to identify areas for individual
development and ways of achieving
improvement using resources
in and outside the classroom,
including ELTC's Self-Access
Centre.
The course uses both published
course books and authentic written
and spoken texts including video
and audio recordings. Students
regularly work in groups and
are encouraged to find things
out for themselves and to learn
from each other as well as from
the teacher.
