The Intensive English courses aim to improve your ability to use English by increasing your awareness of grammar structures and forms. You will study all language skills – speaking, listening, writing, reading. As well as English for international communication, the College aims to include lots of natural, (British) English, drawing on the local area and British culture. A large part of language ability is confidence, so the lessons are designed to build your confidence and provide you with lots of opportunities to use the English you are learning.
