Our General English course teaches all the skills you need to be highly competent in the English language. We make sure all your skills are developed to a high level and we continuously check that you are improving well. Our teachers work hard to keep your English improving as fast as possible. These classes are fun and interactive, with excellent English and lifelong friends being common results.
This course is an intense and personalised speaking correction course to help you sound more like a native speaker. It is a full-time focused class that re-trains the way you speak English. We teach pronunciation and fluency skills using a unique teaching method only available at ABILITY English. We give our teachers specialised training in how to analyse your personal speech problems and intensively re-train your speech patterns. The method trains you to build new muscle memory so that your brain and emotions connect better to the English language.
You may feel afraid or shy speaking with locals, so in this course we teach you how to overcome your fears and connect. Every day we teach you practical communication skills with lots of detailed feedback from your teacher, so you are more confidently prepared to manage and control real-life situations that challenge you. We give you opportunities to practise common, real-life communication using the appropriate language with English speakers in a variety of environments including workplace. You will also be able to enhance your interview skills.
If you want English learning that takes you quickly towards a focused goal, this course is the best option for you. This course is an option at the Intermediate and Upper Intermediate level of English, and helps you succeed better in IELTS Test Preparation, Cambridge Test Preparation and EAP courses. This is the perfect course if you have academic goals and like to be pushed to study hard for better results.
