Budget English lessons at LAL Torbay
Free extra lessons in April and May
Courses starting on 26 April and 10 May 2010 will include a full General English programme as well as lessons with our trainee teachers at no extra cost.
LAL Torbay offers a Budget English course several times a year, which costs less than a third of our cheapest General English course.
Why do we do it? This course is part of our teacher-training programme. This programme, for the qualification of Cambridge English Language Teaching to Adults (CELTA), is a Cambridge University validated course for training teachers who are new to teaching English as a foreign language - and these trainee teachers need practice.
The students who attend the Budget English courses are taught by the new teachers.
The Budget English lessons are taken as either 2 or 4-week courses consisting of 5 hours of lessons a day. Each day the students will have 3 hours with a qualified teacher and 2 hours with teachers-in-training who are closely supervised by a Cambridge University approved trainer. Students MUST attend for the full 5 hours each day.

We can only accept students of one of two distinct levels on this course therefore we need to confirm that you have the correct level; all students will be pre-tested before being enrolled on the course. The levels we set for the course are pre-intermediate and upper-intermediate.
We need written confirmation from your client that they are aware that they will be partly taught by teachers-in-training and partly by fully qualified teachers on this course.
Students will be working with a course book that must be returned at the end of the course.
