Hear from our students: 

"It led me to learn so many new words." Mihyn from South Korea

Content:

• Students are tested on arrival and placed in classes appropriate to their levels
• Classes take place on campus 
• Classes will be based around cultural themes which will give students an authentic English language learning experience
• On top of language skills students learn global soft skills that are increasingly seen as important to employers in a progressively globalised world
• Classes will integrate the development of speaking, listening, writing and reading in interactive classes
• At the end of the course students will give an academic presentation and produce written work
• Students completing end of course tasks and with a 70% attendance will receive an end of course report detailing attendance, progress, English level and grade for presentation. 
• This can be used by partner universities to award credits towards their own degree programmes.
