Course Overview

Learning to speak English opens up a world of opportunities in work, relationships, travel and culture. The General English course brings together the four macro skills of Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing with the core knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. Our teachers strive everyday to help students develop native-like pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary use. Students use a core textbook and do homework everyday. There is a weekly test on Grammar and Vocabulary as well as a range of other types of reading and listening activities.

The General English course gives students a firm grounding in the vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar of English. These areas of proficiency are combined and integrated with the four macro skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. These areas of proficiency form the basis of the learner aims, objectives and outcomes for the course.

Assessments
All content, both core and supplementary, and assessments are delivered with the goal of helping students make progress towards the learning outcomes. Teachers use a variety of feedback and correction methods to ensure that students are fully engaged and participating in classes. These modes of feedback include but are not limited to: verbal correction of errors, comments on writing, and scores given on assessments. Students are promoted to a higher level based on their performance in summative and formative assessments, not based on the number of weeks they spend in a level. As a result, some students may advance in less than 12 weeks, others may take longer.

The curriculum, syllabus and assessment are designed to help students achieve Course Objectives and more detailed and measurable Learning Outcomes.
