English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas StudentsDeveloping a strong all-round proficiency in English is an essential asset for global citizens in the twenty-first century. English opens doors for further study, work and personal connections with people from other countries. It also brings great personal satisfaction and, as such, studying English is a confidence-building pursuit for most learners. Aspiring learners of English need both structured and unstructured learning opportunities, a combination of both direct instruction and freer practice. Studying at an English school with motivated teachers, an international cohort of classmates and a dynamic environment is an ideal way to develop a high-level of English proficiency. The General English Program course gives students a firm grounding in the vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar of English. These areas of proficiency are combined and integrated with the four macro skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. These areas of proficiency form the basis of the learner aims, objectives and outcomes for the course. To achieve these learning outcomes, the needs of the students must be met by aligning the learning outcomes of the course with the content/textbook/syllabus, the pedagogical methodology and the assessment. The learning aims, objectives and outcomes are in accordance with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). Students who complete each level of the course are considered to have met the proficiency standards set out at each level of the CEFR.
