Business English courses generally focus on business topics like project management and office etiquette. You will practice and learn new English skills like holding a staff meeting, reading a formal email request, listening to an informal conversation at a conference, or writing a memo. It's an ongoing course and you can join every four weeks at the beginning of each Module.
Academic English courses focus on academic English, specifically for studying in an English speaking university setting. This type of course fits in well before you take an exam preparation course (IELTS or TOEFL). These challenging classes teach you not only the English skills necessary to study abroad, but also academic skills like note taking, referencing sources, critical analysis and writing research papers. Currently, this course is reserved for students placement tested intermediate and above. It's an ongoing course and you can join every four weeks at the beginning of each Module.
The aim of this communicative and interactive course is to help you improve your language skills so you can communicate more confidently in real-life situations. These classes are perfect for those that would like to improve their English fluency skills while talking about interesting topics with other learners. These are ongoing courses that you can join every four weeks.
Courses focus on academic English and exam skills needed to reach your required mark for entrance into university or for international visas. All aspects of the test, including, reading, writing, speaking, and listening will be reviewed and practiced in a stand-alone 8 week course (you can join every 4 weeks). Currently, this course is reserved for students placement tested intermediate and above.
Coaching Sessions are one-on-one 60-minute sessions based on a topic you choose. For example, if you have a job interview in English coming up, you can schedule a coaching session where the teacher will offer tips and will guide you through the interview process. Other examples of coaching could include but are not limited to: writing an academic essay, IELTS or TOEFL speaking practice, or even General English lessons if you prefer learning in a one-on-one class.

All of our Business English and Academic English courses are split into levels, modules/themes and lessons.
Level
A level is based on a Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) e.g. elementary, pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper-intermediate, and advanced. Placement into a level is based on completion of the Oxford placement test, or completion of the previous level and teacher recommendation. One level will usually take 40-50 weeks to complete. Academic English courses consist of 7 modules, while Business English consist of 8 modules.
Module/Theme
A module consists of a group of similarly themed, task-based lessons. Each module of Business English and English for Academic Purposes lessons consists of 10 lessons.
Lesson
One lesson consists of three parts, pre-task, Zoom lesson (main task), and post task. The pre-task prepares you with the language you need for the live Zoom lesson task. The Zoom lesson offers you a chance to communicate with others and receive feedback from your instructor, while the post-task allows you to revise or practice what was learnt during the Zoom class. Pre- and post-tasks amount to 45 minutes, while the Zoom meeting is 1.5 hours.
