English Courses in Bath

General English Language Courses

Whatever your level of English, our General English course will help you gain confidence and ability as an English speaker. You’ll improve your skills in conversation, listening, writing, reading and grammar. Whilst working interactively you will have plenty of opportunity to practise the skills you are learning.

There are two options for studying General English: the standard course with 20 lessons per week (General English 20), and our intensive course with 30 lessons (General English 30).

General English 20

Students follow a course-book based programme in classes at an appropriate English language level. Your lessons will focus on the development of your general English language level.

This course runs in the morning, leaving you enough time to explore the city of Bath, relax or study.

General English 30

This course includes all the English skills taught in General English 20, but you will be studying for longer hours to maximise your learning.

This intensive course is composed of morning and afternoon lessons. Your afternoon lessons will focus on developing your language skills further and work on areas of interest to you. The range of afternoon classes offered will change from time to time to reflect the composition of students in the class. Specific areas may include:

• IELTS Preparation
• Communication Skills
• Grammar and Writing
• Academic Writing Skills
• Cambridge First Preparation
• Cambridge Advanced Preparation

IELTS Preparation

If you are planning to go to university in the UK, the General English 30 course will help you improve your English before you begin your academic studies. You will practise your listening, reading, writing and speaking, and prepare for your IELTS examination.

The afternoon lessons will develop the academic skills required for the exam, and give you the opportunity to prepare for the IELTS exam with mock tests.
