9 English General Courses for adults in Ramsgate

The summer English courses are designed to give students the opportunity to practise their English in a friendly, multicultural environment. Students are actively encouraged to practise their English with students from other nationalities, both in class and outside. The school concentrates on raising their confidence and fluency, and bringing out the English they already know, but can’t yet use.
