The purpose of the General English course is to provide students with a strong, well balanced knowledge and application of the English language. It is taught in a fun and practical manner which will engage the students.
The course provides an opportunity for students to learn, make errors, receive feedback and engage in authentic, functional, and practical conversational settings. Students will study speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation and the course will prepare them to use English outside the classroom or to move to a VET Course upon completion.
