Classroom lessons
Skills developed: speaking, comprehension, business communication skills
The native English teachers reduce theoretical explanations to a minimum, in order to encourage you to participate actively.
For example, a group lesson could include a debate on common business interests, while an individual lesson could focus on a job interview role-play or the analysis of an industry-specific article or case study. By discussing and working as a group all of your language skills are used and developed.
Social activities
Skills developed: communication skills, informal conversation practice
You will have even more opportunities to practise what you have learnt in the classroom. A dinner with friends, or an evening at the theatre or pub is an enjoyable way to get to know the other course participants and also the local culture.
Results
At the start of the course your language profile is evaluated. We then determine your course objectives and create a study plan to achieve them.
This means we do not waste time relearning language skills you already have, and on average you will increase the level of your English by 1 CEFR level (PDF ) every 4 weeks. The higher your starting level, the more time is required for each level, and vice versa.
Levels
Group and individual courses are available at all levels, from beginner to advanced.
Starting dates and duration
Courses start every week on Monday, and last 1 week, 2 weeks and up to 8+ weeks. You can start an individual course in any week, and combination and group courses are programmed regularly during the entire year.
