General English Course

The Format focuses on integrated Skills (Speaking and Listening, Reading and writing). Students use a core textbook (e.g. Success, Up Beat, Headway, and Cutting Edge). Class work is theme-based: activities focus on a weekly or bi-weekly topic, usually following the English course book syllabus, so that students can develop useful vocabulary and share ideas in group discussions. English grammar and structure are introduced progressively and used in class communication activities.

The qualification has a core General English Course which can be in the form of general and intensive courses for beginners upwards, to courses that are specifically for further study, such as English for academic purposes (EAP) course or pre-university entrance English courses.
