8 English General Courses for adults in Northern Ireland

This is a more intensive General English course consisting of 25 lessons per week for those students who want extra tuition hours. Again, rather than look at what you have done in the past teachers look at what you know now and what you can do. The extra hours of tuition will allow you to further work on areas for improvement identified by your teacher. As the name suggests, intensive English courses are best for students who would like to make progress quickly. For instance, many students choose to take an intensive course when they are aiming towards a specific goal, like a new job or educational course. Intensive courses are also popular with students who have limited time throughout the year to spend taking English lessons. Maximising the number of weekly teaching hours is an excellent way to fit learning English into your schedule, for instance if you have limited vacation days throughout the year.

It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times. It completely immerses you in the language you are learning as you put into practice what you have learnt during your lessons through social interactions and meal times with your host. The Home Tuition Programme includes: • 15 hours private language lessons per week • Accommodation in your teacher’s home • Meals and social interaction with your host Choose the number of language lessons you require and personalise your Programme according to your needs, interests and preferences with a multitude of options and specialisations to choose from. Some things cannot be learnt by studying in the traditional way, fluency is achieved through living the language, using the target language constantly and in your everyday life. Culture, entertainment, leisure and current events are embedded in people’s language and these are as much part of the language learning process as the lessons.
