Our English Pathways intensive English course combines 15 hours a week of language development with six hours a week of a special subject of your choice. Language Development classes are based on the Bell Syllabus and build listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, as well as developing grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. You then choose one special subject from either Pathways to Study, such as Preparation for University or Pathways to Work, such as English for Tourism. The Super Advanced English Course improves your ability to use English language in different contexts and genres. Working intensively in small groups (maximum class size is 6), you learn how to select the most appropriate style for every situation, and master complex language areas such as participles, collocation, inversion and idiomatic language.
