Morning English courses in England

General English courses at ETC each follow a syllabus which is primarily designed to develop the four skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening, and to increase your awareness of how English works. You will also learn and revise new vocabulary, improve your pronunciation and polish your English grammar.

You study 20 lessons every week following BLC’s curriculum of focused language training. A great choice if you want to have free time in the afternoon to enjoy your time in Brighton, see the sights or socialise with your new friends from BLC.

Our General English courses are designed for motivated, professional students who wish to develop their overall skills in reading, writing, speaking, listening as well as grammar. We believe that in order to improve your language to its best potential, it is important to focus on all of these areas.

Levels: we have Elementary to Advanced levels from September to June. Each student undergoes a level test on the morning of their first day – writing and speaking components – before joining their class.

The main aim of our General English courses is to teach students to speak English fluently and to understand English as it is spoken by native speakers. We provide a balanced programme of skills development (Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing and Grammar).

The Standard General English course takes place throughout the year and students may join this course on any Monday. The morning is divided into two parts and two teachers usually share the class.
