Students on Academic Long-stay programmes have the added benefits of regular monthly tutorials for the purposes of ensuring that they are happy with their progress and determining ways in which they can continue to improve their competence and effective communication. They also receive:
- free inbound transfers
- university placement service
- progress tests
- upgrades to business, executive and exam courses (on request and when available)
This course is for students who are studying at the school for eight weeks or more and want to communicate effectively in everyday situations at the same time as gaining a sound understanding of the principles of the English language.
The morning lessons are in larger, mixed nationality classes in which the teacher uses a course book and gives you the opportunity to improve your reading, writing, listening and speaking skills as well as helping you to build your active / working vocabulary and grammar knowledge. By the end of your stay it is expected that you will have not only improved your communicative competence, through study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but also achieved a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.
You can buy or hire course books at LAL Torbay.
