General English

Course Overview

General English is our most popular course to learn and improve your English. Our teachers design interactive and stimulating classes with clear aims and outcomes, all at our school here in West London. 

We teach all levels including beginner English, advanced English and proficiency. You can also choose to combine General English with IELTS exam preparation, First certificate in English or Advanced Certificate in English.

All our general English classes are based on the communicative approach. This means there is a strong focus on speaking and listening skills, as well as reading, writing, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.

Because the classes are learner-centered, you are given the opportunity to practice everything related to language with students from all over the world. Our Academic Team select relevant and interesting coursebooks that change each term (12 or 13 weeks for full-time courses and 25 weeks for part-time courses) to ensure you receive a variety of language input.
