Language Schools teach international students English in preparation for entry onto a Vocational course or honours degree. Courses tend to last for one year, and teaching will incorporate the key skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Teaching takes place in classes and on a one-to-one basis, identifying your strengths, weaknesses and learning ability.
When choosing an English Language School, it is vital to pick a fully accredited centre approved by the UK Government and Education authorities. SI-UK can ensure you find the right institution for your needs, giving you the best possible preparation for study.
Language School course options
Depending on what areas you need to improve, many language schools offer different types of English learning specific to your subject.
General English – Designed to give you English confidence in everyday situations, to be used in English speaking countries.
Foundation – Improving English for the required level of your university course. If your English is not good enough to study your desired degree, then the university will often offer you a place (other grades permitting) on a one-year English course.
Business English – Focusing on presentation skills, interviews, management and negotiation. These types of courses are often found in private language schools.
English for Specific Purpose (ESP) – Improve your English skills to help communicate in unique work related situations. Whether you need to improve for a position in medicine or at a call centre, ESP’s cater to virtually all areas of work.
English for Academic Purpose (EAP) – If you wish to improve upon the skills needed to succeed at a UK university, such as note taking, discussion and academic reading or writing – then an EAP is useful for both prospective undergraduate and postgraduate students.
