Practise everyday English intensively twice a weekThis advanced intensive course offers you access to a wealth of English learning resources via the internet and a mobile app. The course contains stunning National Geographic content which includes exciting original videos, photographs, interviews, articles and engaging discussion topics. You will work with updated and relevant content and learn to develop your ability to think critically by completing problem solving-tasks and participating in group discussions.

The topics covered in class have been chosen because of their ability to fascinate and interest. The texts used are rich in vocabulary and contain beautiful photographs from around the world.

We will discuss some of the following topics:

• Relationships


• Storytelling


• Art and design


• Approaches to travel


• Technology

You will broaden your vocabulary and study grammar including time phrases, passive tenses, adverbs, adjectives, phrasal verbs and verb patterns. Improving your grammar and vocabulary means that you will be able to express yourself more precisely.

As we will be meeting twice a week and there will also be homework, you will be practising your English nearly every day, which means you will get into a totally different rhythm than if you had only been going to English classes once per week.

On the course, you will typically meet students who need to improve their English because they have recently got a new job, or students who need to improve their English quickly so they can perform well in their current job or when talking to family and friends.
