On arrival, you will take a test to measure your ability in English. You will then be placed in a group at the appropriate level.
The teaching programme is both efficient and varied:

Language Teaching introduces the basic grammatical concepts used in everyday communication: structure, syntax, vocabulary and pronunciation, all taught at levels appropriate to the student's language competence.

Listening Comprehension develops a wide range of listening skills - understanding general meaning, identifying specific information, assessing the attitudes of speakers.

Speaking Skills lessons focus on pronunciation and practising English in everyday situations: at the bank, shopping, travelling, on the telephone and so on.

Current Affairs together with the teacher, you will watch news and current affairs programmes on video, or read and analyse articles taken from newspapers and magazines. This is followed by a general discussion on topics taken from contemporary British life and comparisons are made with the situation in different countries.

Topic for Conversation: through general discussion or organised presentation of ideas, you are encouraged to develop your ability to express yourself in English on various topics of general interest such as relationships, pollution, cinema, social problems, pop music, etc. Student contributions and presentations are checked and corrected as necessary by the teacher.

Reading Comprehension: attention is also paid to the importance of written English. So, texts are studied — from simplified stories to authentic texts, including contemporary British and other English literature (prose, poetry and drama) at more advanced levels. A wide selection of reading material is available in the College Library. Visits to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre to see plays by Shakespeare are frequently arranged by the College.
