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.

There are few places we associate more with academic learning than Cambridge, and the General English course from EC English only contributes to that. When you’re not busy enjoying this historic university town’s architecture and scenery, you’ll be taking 20 classes per week (for a total of 15 hours.)
The course uses the tried and tested approach of working on the four pillars of language skills: Reading, Speaking, Writing and Listening. You’ll make friends from different parts of the world as soon as you start, giving you language practice partners to spend time with outside of class time in this charming English city.
The class sizes have an average of 10 participants, and a maximum of 15. This setting will put you in a dynamic environment where you'll meet many new people to speak and improve your English with.
With a focus on fluency, the General English 20 course allows you to improve your English and gain a practical understanding of the language and how to use it. You will focus on the 4 skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening, in order to improve your level and maximise your ability to use English.

Description of Local Area
Cambridge is an extremely historic, multi-cultural, and sociable city. You’ll find an abundance of stunning architecture, great museums and theatres, and fun nightlife.
Description of Accommodation
Staying with local hosts is both exciting and rewarding. Homestay providers provide the best insight into how the British live their day-to-day lives. This interaction will help you communicate better, faster and allow you to pick up words and nuances used in daily situations. There is no typical homestay in Cambridge. Some homes are single standing homes; others can be apartments or townhouses. Cambridge is a very multi-cultural city and a lot of people are originally from different countries, and different backgrounds. Living with hosts in Cambridge will give you a great view of all the different cultures and ethnicities that the city has to offer.
Choose between a single or twin room. Each room is furnished with a bed and a closet to store your personal belongings and clothes. If there is not a desk in your room, the hosts will provide you with a quiet place to study. It is important that rooms and living areas are kept neat and tidy. You will also have access to a shared bathroom. Private bathrooms are also an option, upon request and availability.
Bed linen and towels are provided. The hosts will be happy to launder the sheets and towels once a week. You are responsible for doing your own personal laundry. You will be allowed to have one free wash per week. It is very common for homes to have a designated laundry day. Internet access is available upon request (and if requested, will be free of charge). Telephone access is dependent on the hosts.
Homestays are arranged by EC as well as via our accommodation partners – Hosts International and Homestay Consultancy.
Meal Description
Breakfast and dinner are provided daily by the homestay host, who will be happy to prepare both meals, however, lunch is not included in the adult homestay programme. The host will provide room in the fridge and cupboards to store any food that students may purchase.
Hosts make an effort to adjust the type of food offered to the tastes of the students and take religious beliefs into consideration when preparing meals. Vegetarians or people with food allergies should specify their dietary restrictions upon booking so this information can be shared with families prior to arrival.
Breakfast varies from family to family. It is typical in a British home to have a quick, on-the-go breakfast such as toast and a coffee. Students will eat whatever the hosts eat and help set the table or clear up after dinner. Students are encouraged to participate in activities or outings.
Dinner time is usually around 6.30pm or 7.00pm, but hosts will inform the student of the time when they eat. Not all sit down and have dinner together every night. It is important that the student informs the hosts beforehand should they be late or not having dinner. If a student misses dinner, they cannot take it for lunch the next day, since lunch is not included in the homestay program.
