Intensive English

Study for 3 days a week over a 12 week period to improve your English fast. Develop your spoken English, reading, writing and IT skills. Get help with your English for work and study.

You learn:
• How to find important information in different types of media
• How to plan, draft and revise different types of writing, from flyers to written reports
• How to present information logically and effectively in meetings and formal situations
• How to use word processing, spread sheets, databases and desktop publishing
• How to use the internet for communication and research
• How to study on your own to maximize your learning

In class you work on your own, in pairs and in groups using a variety of resources. In IT classes you use a PC. You work at the level and pace you feel comfortable with and your teachers support you all the way.

You work towards awards in English: reading, speaking and listening, and writing. You build a portfolio of your progress in class and get assessed by your tutors.

In your IT classes you take a functional skills exam, and you gain a qualification in English at your level. (Please note these are UK qualifications and are not internationally recognised)

You must complete an initial assessment and an interview to decide if the course is suitable for you. You must attend regularly and sit the exams.

You can move on to the next level Intensive English course that runs during the following term. We give you advice and information to help you plan your next step, whether you would like to study another course in the college or are looking for work.
