The General English Fluency course is our most popular course which consists of 20 lessons of fun and challenging group lessons per week. In class students work on developing their productive and receptive skills while also increasing their accuracy and fluency.

The GE Fluency Intensive allows students to combine General English classes in the morning with 6 lessons individual training on 2 afternoons per week.

The GE Fluency Plus course combines the Fluency course with 6 extra lessons of English training in the afternoons. These afternoon classes are small group classes.

Each lesson has a focus on communication skills, using learner autonomy approaches to foster a student-centered classroom. Teachers encourage students to develop their English language skills using role-plays, authentic texts, grammar in context tasks and a range of other techniques.

The morning is divided into two parts and two teachers usually share the class. The course is designed to improve students’ abilities to use language accurately and fluently while concentrating on the skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing.
