Intensive English Course

Intensive English Course is designed for students who want to improve their English quickly through a more immersive and intensive learning experience in Cape Town. Students will develop their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. They will also work on extending their vocabulary. During these lessons the main focus will be to help students speak more fluently and interact more effectively in a variety of real life situations. Building on the core General English programme, the course includes additional afternoon lessons focused on improving fluency, strengthening communication skills, and expanding vocabulary and grammar knowledge. Through interactive activities and practical tasks, students will gain confidence using English naturally in a variety of real-life situations.

Lessons are engaging and communicative, combining speaking discussions, roleplays, listening to authentic materials, grammar and vocabulary exercises, as well as reading and writing practice.
