General English courses

General English programmes are especially suited to students of almost all levels who want a good foundation in English, in a wide variety of language areas.

As well as grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing, the main aim of our General English language courses is to help students communicate well in everyday situations whilst in an English-speaking environment.

General English programmes are available for levels of ability from beginner to advanced students. The materials used on the course have been developed by experienced teachers to make the course informative and fun.

At Cavendish School of English the classes are small and intimate, typically with between 6 and 10 students, and never more than 12. All students who successfully complete a course at Cavendish School of English receive a Certificate of Achievement. Students of all abilities will quickly become confident and more fluent on the course.

The timetable for the day incorporates plenty of variety. Students will be able to practise their newly learned skills and vocabulary in a relaxed and supportive classroom situation.

A wide range of teaching materials and modern teaching equipment is used to ensure that classroom sessions are interesting and relevant to the 'students' own experience. Details are listed below.
