This Premium course is for students who are seeking to communicate effectively in everyday situations and gain a sound understanding of the principles of the English language and benefit from smaller class sizes.

There are a maximum of 6 students in the morning and afternoon classes, which means more individual attention and more opportunities for discussion and detailed vocabulary building. Smaller class sizes mean that you have a greater chance of getting a course that is specifically designed around your individual needs and expectations.

The morning lessons are designed around a course book* and provides you with the opportunity to improve the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking 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 communicative competence, through the study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but will have also achieved a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.

The additional 7.5 hours of afternoon lessons per week provides the ideal conditions to further develop a wide range of vocabulary and improve your key communication skills. Grammatical structures and vocabulary dealt with in morning lessons can be put into practice in these lessons, allowing a greater degree of reinforcement.

Course books can be bought or hired from LAL Torbay.
