General English courses
Our English classes are a full-time, structured program for people who want to make real progress in speaking English. We use the same blended instructional methods in all our English classes, leveraging technology to customize instruction and giving students individual practice on areas of difficulty. These methods are particularly effective because they provide each learner a framework within which to review and build upon his own skill base.
This carefully composed course of 26 weekly lessons (total tuition time of 17 hours and 20 minutes), held in the morning and afternoon, is designed to help you move up one course level every six weeks. Our general language lessons build your grammar and vocabulary through a combination of digital learning and classroom-based lessons.
