Academic English

Academic English is aimed at international students who plan to study at university level in the UK. It includes general English language learning, IELTS preparation, writing skills and study skills.
Our IELTS +General English courses prepare learners for the IELTS exam as well as equip them with practical skills which they will need when they study at college or university.

IELTS + general English

This course includes 26 lessons a week (25 lessons + workshop) and runs from Monday to Friday. The focus of the courses is on the development of reading skills required for tackling long academic texts, extracting and processing key information.  The writing skills which we help learners develop and improve are the planning, writing and editing of academic essays, reports and table descriptions.  Through the exposure to authentic listening texts and practical tasks, we aim to provide learners with adequate practice to increase their active listening skills. The topics have been chosen to build up learners’ vocabulary store, give them confidence to converse on a range of topics, and to fully cover the IELTS test specifications.
