Description
Designed for busy professionals with limited time, the Accelerated English
Course allows you to maximize your English language training and immersion
experience in a short time. In group lessons, which are typically held in the
morning, students benefit from group interaction which particularly helps build
conversation skills in addition to all the other skills (reading, listening,
speaking, writing, and grammar). After lunch, Accelerated Course students take
two intensive one-to-one lessons. Students can choose the set curriculum of
Business English and/or, being a private class, students can focus on their
specific needs such as Test Preparation (TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, or Cambridge),
pronunciation, or Academic English. The private teacher conducts a needs
assessment in the first class and customizes lessons and assignments according
to the student’s needs and objectives. Choose this course to maximize your
learning potential and “accelerate” your acquisition of English language
skills!
