The Classic General English program consists of 20 weekly lessons that focus on language fluency as a main goal. The four major skills students will practice are reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students are active participants and learn grammar, vocabulary and common expressions by working and speaking with their classmates. Young students taking General English courses through EC during the summer will be able to do it in Brighton in a supervised and safe environment. They have the choice to participate in the day program, or to stay in homestay or off-campus residential accommodation. Course price listed on the website includes lessons, course materials, activity program and a variety of hot and cold lunches. Airport transfer can be offered at no extra cost if student arrival is on Sunday between 8 AM and 8 PM and departure on Saturday between 8 AM and 8 PM.
