| This course concentrates on all the areas that you need to achieve a much greater fluency in a short period of time. This course is suitable for students who wish to study intensively and get a well rounded insight into the language and country. Students on the LSI Intensive 30 course study the same lessons as described for Standard 20 in the morning. The afternoon classes further intensify the tuition and consolidate what you have learnt, through fluency practice and a comprehensive review of the culture and customs of your host country. For those studying English who work in, or are planning a career in business, the school may be able to offer in some of our centres the LSI English for Business Course, which can be incorporated into your Intensive 30 course as an afternoon option (please check directly with the school). Students may also follow examination preparation courses as part of this course. | ||||||||||
