Intensive English is an English proficiency course designed to fast-track students from their different starting points to a functional level of academic English.

The aim is to help them make the transition from school to university studies successfully. At the end of the course, the students will have acquired the following:

Use of the International Pronunciation Alphabet for clear and correct pronunciation:

  • Sentence level grammar
  • A wider academic vocabulary
  • Better comprehension of academic text
  • Coherent writing of academic text
  • Confidence in speaking in English
  • Improved oral fluency and accuracy
  • Ability to understand spoken English

 

Each class is two hours long. The course is organised along three strands: 

  • listening and speaking
  • reading and writing
  • grammar and vocabulary

Three teachers work as a team to deliver this course. One teacher specialises in teaching listening and speaking, a second handles reading and writing, and a third focuses on sentence grammar. All three teachers work on expanding the students' vocabulary, improving their pronunciation and their use of grammar in spoken and written English. There is a final examination to assess how much the students have learnt.
