General English Courses

General English Courses

These courses are designed for children 7-12 who wish to be able to communicate confidently and effectively in English, to improve their grades at school, and to succeed in their exams.

The main focus is on developing the four language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

In class, your child will be provided with plenty of opportunities to practise his/her language skills through a wide range of interesting exercises, interactive activities, and role-plays.

We offer a variety of courses in English to suit all levels, needs, and objectives:

English School Support - For Local, ESF or International School Students
Level *: Schedule:
* Students are grouped by age, curriculum (Local / ESF / International School), and level of ability
7 - 12 years old
  • Once or twice weekly x 1.5 hours
  • 2 - 5 times weekly during school holidays

For children who need additional support to make really significant progress at school and/or improve their overall English performance.

During these courses, your child will:

  • reinforce his/her listening comprehension and oral communication skills, including proper pronunciation;
  • practise his/her speaking skills in various contexts through interesting and enjoyable activities;
  • develop his/her reading comprehension and writing skills;
  • cultivate an interest in the language.

Emphasis is on developing competence as well as boosting self-confidence while having fun.

To increase your child's overall literacy skills, lessons also incorporate the 'Oxford Reading Tree' scheme, with the option for your child to borrow storybooks to take home and enjoy.
Upon completion of this course, and according to his/her level, your child may choose to sit for one of the Trinity College International English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) examinations, which are recognised worldwide. Trinity's ESOL examinations are for non-native English speakers aged 7+ who wish to have their level of competency in English assessed and officially certified.
