The General English course will cover the four main skills you need to write and speak English (reading, writing, listening and speaking), with an emphasis on practical communication in common situations, such as travelling, shopping, and leisure time.
The course includes 20 lessons (15 hours) per week. Lessons are 45 minutes each.
New students can join this course at the start of any week (except beginners, who can join only on the first Monday of each month) and choose from a wide range of different general English courses and timetables to suit everyone’s needs and levels.
There will be support with grammar and pronunciation, and we will also introduce study skills to help you to become an efficient learner and to keep learning English out of the classroom.
The course will usually follow a course book, but we will also use a wide range of materials, including real-life listening and video examples, authentic texts and on-line resources.
The content of the lessons is adapted to your needs and interests and you will have the opportunity to discuss, negotiate and plan the week’s work with your teacher and fellow students.

In one sentence, it was an excellent experience. The school is very well organized, in terms of class arrangement and the teacher's qualification.
The location, facilities are perfect. They should have more activities in order for students to have more contact with English in real life.
About housing, It should have more diversity of food. The lunch is not that good and a bit expensive for students.
I was like very good the classes with a small number of students, all are appreciated.
