Course material for the intensive course
Our main course book, English File Third Edition, allows students to learn the language using real-life contexts with lively, interesting reading and listening texts, challenging activities and periodic evaluations so they can see and measure their progress. Each level is designed to take 16 weeks to complete as during that time a student can cover the entire syllabus of the level and should then automatically advance to the following level provided their attendance is 80% or above.
Students must purchase a course book upon their arrival. Students staying less than 4 weeks can return their book and get a refund accordingly.
