How many levels are there?

We have classes at four levels based on the Council of Europe Framework

Elementary (Council of Europe A1)
Pre-Intermediate (Council of Europe A2)
Intermediate (Council of Europe B1)
Upper Intermediate (Council of Europe B2)

We give you a test when you arrive to check your level. Your teachers assess your progress every week, and you will have a test and a tutorial every month.

What teaching methods do you use?

We use Communicative Language Teaching – you learn to use your English by using your English. There is a strong focus on speaking and listening, and you will spend a lot of time working together with your classmates. We also integrate grammar and vocabulary work with practice in the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Will I have a coursebook?

Yes, we lend you a coursebook (you don’t have to pay extra). Your teacher will use the coursebook as a basis for your course, but he or she will also bring in extra materials.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, provided you attend 80% or more of your lessons. You will get a certificate that says when you studied here and what level your English is now, plus a report from your teacher.
