'Build confidence, work hard and have fun – lay the foundation for fluency.’


The General English programme develops your English and everyday communication skills, giving you the confidence to manage real-life situations with ease. Through a communicative approach, you will practise listening, speaking, reading and writing, improve your pronunciation, and develop your grammar and vocabulary. You will also have plenty of opportunities to use English in real-life settings, helping you apply what you learn in class to your daily life.

English Path offers six levels, from Beginner to Advanced (A1–C1). Our Beginner classes are suitable for students with very little English, while Advanced classes are designed for students who can already communicate confidently. Students at lower levels can make faster progress by adding one-to-one lessons. If you want quicker results, our Semi-intensive or Super-intensive 40 courses can accelerate your learning or help you prepare for an exam course. Alternatively, the Classic 20 or Semi-intensive course gives you more time to explore and enjoy the city where you are studying.

Extra skills

You can also add an extra Skill to your General English course to focus on a specific goal. First, choose your English level. At A1, A2 and B1, you can add Communication Skills to develop speaking, listening, pronunciation and everyday conversation. From B1+ and above, you can choose Career Skills or Academic Skills, with options such as workplace English, job interviews and IELTS preparation.

Your General English course helps you build strong core English skills, while your chosen Skill allows you to focus your learning on your personal, career or academic goals.

What will I learn during my course?

You will practise the four core skills  listening, speaking, reading and writing  through a communicative approach, with plenty of real-life practice along the way. You will also sharpen your pronunciation and widen your grammar and vocabulary, moving up through our six levels from Beginner to Advanced. On top of this, the Skill you choose adds focused lessons for your goal: everyday confidence with Communication Skills, getting ready for work with Career Skills, or preparing for university and exams with Academic Skills as your English grows.
