Total EnglishAll the English you need: - For work - For leisure - For life All skills. All levels* Optional preparation for Cambridge English Qualifications. |
With a Total English course you study in the mornings Monday to Friday.
The mornings are divided into two lessons of 1.5 hours each, with a 15-minute break in between.
You change teachers at break, but we aim to keep the same two teachers working with you long-term.
In Lessons 1 and 2 (09:30 – 11:00) your teacher will give you work from a course book, which will provide the framework of your course, with a range of additional materials to make your lessons interesting and relevant. In our small groups, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to discuss things with your teacher and classmates.
Lessons 3 and 4 (11:15 – 12:45) are more flexible, but may be linked to Lessons 1 and 2, including vocabulary extension, ‘spin off’ topics, whilst giving an opportunity for pronunciation practice, learn-to-learn skills and lots of speaking and listening practice.
Friday is our workshop day. Lessons 1 and 2 will focus on current affairs and issues for discussion, using authentic materials and different forms of media, leading to skills practice via worksheets and activities, role play, discussion, listening, vocabulary extension, etc. In lessons 3 and 4, you and your fellow students will do a group task, using all the skills but with a focus on the active skills (speaking and listening).
Maximum class size: 12 students
Students joining a Total English course can choose to take additional 1:1 lessons in the afternoons - Total English plus.
