IELTS
All year round we offer IELTS study as part of a full time (20-25 hours) or part-time general English course or separately for Monday and Tuesday afternoons. Please contact us for further details.
IELTS/Study Skills
The focus of the courses is on the development of reading skills required for tackling long academic texts, extracting and processing key information. The writing skills which we help learners develop and improve are the planning, writing and editing of academic essays, reports and table descriptions. Through the exposure to authentic listening texts and practical tasks, we aim to provide learners with adequate practice to increase their active listening skills. The topics have been chosen to build up learners’ vocabulary store, give them confidence to converse on a range of topics, and to fully cover the IELTS test specifications.
