For the majority of students speaking English is a priority. Group conversation classes, therefore, are the perfect complement to general English courses. They are focused on building your confidence and your ability to use English in many different situations.

Most students combine their conversation classes with a morning or afternoon General English programme, studying for a total of 20 hours per week.

General English

General English classes aim to improve students’ all round ability in English and learn language skills for life in an English-speaking country. These classes are designed to provide a balance of practice in reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Lessons will also cover grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. A full-time course will usually require 15 to 25 hours lesson time per week.

Some schools run general English programmes which lead to an exam and recognised qualification which the student will sit at the end of their course or when the school deems he or she to be at the necessary language level. On these courses students learn exam techniques and tips for success and achieving high grades. For more information see recognised qualifications.

Homestay
Homestay means you live with a family - in your own room or sharing with another student. Staying with a host family may be a better option than residential if you want to practise the language with native English speakers and engage more with British culture. Sometimes, lasting friendships are made during homestays. All families are carefully selected and pre-registered with the school. A homestay student lives, eats, and shares the majoritiy of their time outside school hours with the hosts and their family. Family events such as dining out, amusement parks, camping, travel, etc. usually involve the host student who may or may not be expected to pay a portion for the participation (tickets, parking, gas, travel expenses, etc.). The student is invited to participate in Holiday festivities and family events (weddings, birthdays, etc.). The student must abide by the host family's house rules such as; chores to perform, curfews, use of internet, telephone, guest visits, smoking and drinking. All accommodation are quoted weekly from Sunday to Saturday. Students must arrive on Sunday and depart on Saturday.
