General English Group Classes
Join our semi-intensive General English courses, online or face-to-face, for one to four days a week.
We understand that it is sometimes not possible to study every day. These classes allow students to study for just part of the week.
All four language skills are covered in class but priority is given to speaking and listening. New language is introduced through topic based classes (work, family, animals, transportation etc). The vocabulary and grammar taught is continually recycled in order to help you remember it. To further reinforce the work done in class, supplementary exercises are set as homework.
Is General English the same as ESOL?
General English focuses on improving all language skills - grammar, vocabulary, speaking, reading, writing - often for personal or professional development.
ESOL helps English learners live in the UK, focusing on practical, everyday language (visiting the doctor, applying for a job etc). If you are interested in doing an ESOL course in Durham, we would recommend visiting Durham County Council's ESOL webpage.
