Premium Intensive English at LAL Torbay
Premium Intensive English allows you to enhance your progress further in the time available. There are a maximum of 6 students in each class, which means more individual attention and more opportunities for discussion and detailed vocabulary building. Smaller class sizes ensure that the students have a greater chance of getting a course that is specifically designed around their individual needs and expectations.
This course is for students who are seeking to communicate effectively in everyday situations and gain a sound understanding of the principles of the English language. The morning lessons are designed around a course book and provides the opportunity for students to improve the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as enhancing and increasing their active / working vocabulary and grammar knowledge. By the end of their stay the students can expect to have improved not only their communicative competence, through their study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but will have also achieved a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.
Premium Intensive English allows you to study in a morning and afternoon class. This means that the teachers can focus more improving the individual skills of the students and provide more focussed attention on vocabulary and aspects of grammar. This course will suit those students who may wish to make a more rapid progress with their English acquisition.
