Premium General English allows you to enhance your progress even further in the time available. There are 18 lessons per week in a class with a maximum of 6 students, which means more individual attention and more opportunities for discussion and detailed vocabulary building. Smaller class sizes ensure that the students have a greater chance of getting a course that is specifically designed around their individual needs and expectations.
The lessons are designed around a course book and provide the opportunity for you to improve your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills as well as enhancing and increasing active / working vocabulary and grammar knowledge. By the end of your stay you can expect to have improved not only your communicative competence, through the study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but also achieve a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.
Course books are available to buy or to hire from LAL Torbay.
