Worldwide School of English offers their General English course on a 20-lesson per week basis and is suitable for a wide range of people in different situations - including those who are involved in academics, or who are trying to improve their English for their work life.

There are 8 possible levels that you might be assigned to after your initial placement test, however, at each level the foundation of the lessons remains largely the same: a strong focus on grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing. Students will also spend a significant amount of time in speaking activities, to refine this all-important skill.

Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays, and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

I like the school's learning atmosphere and experienced teachers very much. The morning classes are compact and efficient, and the afternoon oral classes are interesting. At the end of the day, the school also arranges many interesting extra-curricular activities, in which we can make friends from different countries and communicate in English. All in all, Worldwide is a great language school.
