General English courses are designed to give you the English language skills to live, work, study and travel in an English-speaking environment.
They offer group English language courses to international students from Elementary level (CEF A1) to Advanced level (CEF C2).
The syllabus is task-based, with students carrying out tasks in class to provide them with the necessary skills to manage using the English language in real-life situations.
The school also aims to make the syllabus student-centred, placing the emphasis on student training, enabling them to become more independent and providing them with practical skills to apply to their ongoing language learning when they finish their course.
However, they also have stated objectives and targeted learning outcomes which are achievable and measurable. The syllabus takes into consideration:
Skills versus grammar/vocabulary - taking into consideration the abilities and needs of the group.
New language versus practice opportunities- ensuring a balance of input and revision
Outcomes- the stated outcomes of the syllabus and what the learners need to be able to do by the end of the module.
Each week the checklist of achievable outcomes will be posted on the wall of your classroom to be discussed with your teacher. Each time you are working on one of the weekly outcomes your teacher will identify it to you on the checklist. When you have completed an outcome and are able to achieve it, your teacher will tick it off of the checklist.
