Students attend the General English Course with other students in the mornings. For further details of this please see the description in General English Course.

In addition to this, students have an opportunity to work as a closed group in the afternoons. The students aged 40+ will have a selection of classes, discussion groups and visits aimed at their interests. These students have at least 3 hours of closed classes/activities each week. The main emphasis of these is improving your confidence in English, particularly in the areas of social language, reading papers, watching films and TV programmes etc. The aim is to increase your confidence and speaking ability by strengthening the language skills you already have as well as introducing new ones.

Some 40+ prefer to join certain English Plus Course Modules in the afternoons and this is also possible.

Students join the course for a minimum of 2 weeks.
