Our Ministry of Education licensed English language lessons cover the 6 levels corresponding with the European framework level of English Language competency. You will be placed into the corresponding class depending on your entry skill level to help you to learn quickly and efficiently with students who are of a similar language level. The English language course levels, are as follows:
When you enroll in your English Language course and begin to learn English, you will be invited to take part in our placement test. This comprehensive test will take roughly 1 hour long and provide us with enough information about your current ability and skill, therefore placing you in your best suited English course group.
Each adult English class is split between conversational work and textbook work with 4 hours per week spent on each. The text books we work from are Longman published ‘Cutting Edge’ language book series. The ‘Cutting Edge’ series works as a wide-ranging European quality syllabus, with a complete range of well-made teaching resources. We do not give these books out but rather work from them, however we strongly recommend you purchase this book from us or from the publisher directly as they are extremely useful to use when out of the classroom.
The adult English courses will focus on 1 level for every 6 months, so a 200 hour would cover one full language level. We do recommend you take part in one complete course, but taking smaller, 3 month 100 hour courses is still possible. However due to new visa rules the 100 hours would not prove adequate for 8 hours per week learning quota required per student if you plan on staying here for 6 months or more.
We are fully committed to give you what you paid for. If you enroll when we are half way through a adult English course you are most welcome to join the current course and then overlap onto the next one for your paid for hours. For example if you paid for 100 hours and join 50 hours through the previous course, you will still be entitled to your remaining 50 hours in the next course.
