This course consists of 20 general English lessons and 10 special focus lessons per week. The student can choose from the following options: speaking with confidence, real-life listening, expand your vocabulary, and global awareness.
During the General English 30 course you will improve at a quicker pace. A combination of General English and a selection of specially focused classes will allow you to gain greater fluency and accuracy more quickly.
What can you expect on this course?
- More Exposure to English
Extra exposure to English in the classroom will help you to think in English, cutting down on time spent translating from your own language into English.
- Core English Plus Your Choice of Special Focus
It’s your English course, so you get to decide what you want to study! You can choose from a number of options and focus on the areas of English that you want to improve. This will definitely help you make the most of your time on your English course.
- Maximum Teacher Contact Time
More time with your teachers will help you to become more confident with your English. All lessons are creative and energising, allowing you to feel more self-assured.
- Intensive Focus on All Skills
More time in class will allow you to focus on the key skill areas of reading, writing, speaking and listening, which will further develop fluency and accuracy through grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
- Topic-Based lessons in Everyday Contexts
With web articles, music, video and other authentic resources, teachers use ‘real-life’ materials that not only help you to understand how English is used by native speakers, but also help you to study English independently, long after you have left EC. Every lesson is based on a topic. The English you need to know is taught within the context of the topic. You will then be able to apply your newfound skills correctly in other situations.
- A Focused and Relaxed Classroom Environment
Happy students learn better than unhappy ones! That’s not a secret, but it’s something that EC strongly believes. And so classrooms are places where hard work is carried out in informal and relaxed settings. Your ability and motivation will improve in a classroom with a great atmosphere.

Students will enjoy Bristol, a vibrant university city in the South West of England. The city of Bristol is diverse and multicultural with a rich history in shipping and engineering. Our homestay providers reflect this diversity.
Description of Accommodation
Staying with a homestay provider is both exciting and rewarding. Homestay providers offer the best insight into daily British culture and life. This interaction helps students communicate better, faster and allows them to pick up words and phrases used in daily situations.
The homestay consists of mixed gender accommodation with single or twin room. Each room is furnished with a bed, desk/table, chest of drawers or a wardrobe, mirror and a waste paper basket. Some rooms have TVs.
Additionally, students will have access to common areas such as the lounge, kitchen and dining room. It is important that rooms and living areas are kept neat and tidy. Students also have access to a shared bathroom.
Bed linen and towels are provided by the homestay provider. Our homestay provider will offer one wash per week – anything extra will be at the homestay’s discretion.
Internet access is available and telephone access is restricted to incoming calls only.
Homestays are arranged by EC as well as via our accommodation partner Hosts International, who are registered with the British Council.
Meal Description
A variety of food is provided. Homestay providers may adjust the type of food offered when taking into consideration religious beliefs. It is important to mention this at the time of your booking. Vegetarians or people with food allergies should specify their eating options upon booking so this can be shared with their host prior to arrival.
Breakfast varies from one homestay to another. It is usually self-service and includes bread, coffee and cereal. Hosts are encouraged to offer students whatever is typical for their homes.
Students will eat whatever the hosts eat and we encourage them to set the table or clear up after dinner.

Staying with a homestay provider is both exciting and rewarding. Homestay providers offer the best insight into daily British culture and life. This interaction helps students communicate better, faster and allows them to pick up words and phrases used in daily situations.
The homestay consists of mixed gender accommodation with single or twin room. Each room is furnished with a bed, desk/table, chest of drawers or a wardrobe, mirror and a waste paper basket. Some rooms have TVs.
Additionally, students will have access to common areas such as the lounge, kitchen and dining room. It is important that rooms and living areas are kept neat and tidy. Students also have access to a shared bathroom.
Bed linen and towels are provided by the homestay provider. Our homestay provider will offer one wash per week – anything extra will be at the homestay’s discretion.
Internet access is available and telephone access is restricted to incoming calls only.
Homestays are arranged by EC as well as via our accommodation partner Hosts International, who are registered with the British Council.
Meal Description
A variety of food is provided. Homestay providers may adjust the type of food offered when taking into consideration religious beliefs. It is important to mention this at the time of your booking. Vegetarians or people with food allergies should specify their eating options upon booking so this can be shared with their host prior to arrival.
Breakfast varies from one homestay to another. It is usually self-service and includes bread, coffee and cereal. Hosts are encouraged to offer students whatever is typical for their homes.
Students will eat whatever the hosts eat and we encourage them to set the table or clear up after dinner. Dinners are usually quite early in Britain but hosts will inform the student of the time when they eat. It is important that the student informs the host beforehand should they be late or not having dinner.
