Why Do Adults Want to Learn English?

General English Courses for Adults
At our institute, we are dedicated to helping adults enhance their English proficiency, with a strong emphasis on developing speaking skills. By focusing on speaking as the core skill, we ensure that our students can actively participate in conversations, express themselves clearly, and build real-life communication abilities. Additionally, our experienced teachers use a variety of teaching methods and materials, including authentic resources and multimedia tools, to make the learning experience both enjoyable and enriching.
Our courses are designed for learners aged 15 and above, offering a comprehensive and structured approach to language learning. Whether you are just starting your language journey or looking to refine advanced skills, we have the right course for you.
Course Structure
Our Adults General English courses are divided into three levels: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level is tailored to meet the specific needs of adult learners, ensuring steady progress across all language areas.
- Beginner and Intermediate Levels: These two foundational levels comprise a total of 24 terms. The courses are carefully designed to build a solid base in all four key language skills – speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Through interactive lessons and engaging activities, learners develop the confidence to use English in everyday situations and gradually expand their vocabulary and grammar knowledge.
- Advanced Level: For learners who wish to achieve full proficiency, the advanced level offers an in-depth focus on communication skills. With 18 terms dedicated to this level, students refine their ability to engage in complex discussions, express opinions fluently, and handle sophisticated language tasks. This level also prepares learners for academic or professional settings where a high level of English is required.
Course Materials and Classroom Environment
Our classes utilise the Evolve book series, which is specifically designed to enhance speaking skills. The content of these books is delivered in our fully equipped and interactive classrooms, creating an engaging and practical learning environment. Here is how the Evolve series is integrated into our different levels:
- A1 (Elementary): We use Evolve 1, which is ideal for beginners who are just starting to grasp basic English.
- A2 (Pre-intermediate): Evolve 2 is used at this level, helping learners to build upon their foundational skills and engage in more everyday conversations.
- B1 (Intermediate): Evolve 3 supports students in developing stronger communication abilities, with a focus on fluency and accuracy.
- B1+ (High Intermediate): At this level, Evolve 4 is introduced to enhance learners’ ability to handle more complex interactions and discussions.
- B2 (Upper-Intermediate): With Evolve 5, students engage in complex conversations, improving their fluency and accuracy, and enhancing their ability to communicate confidently in both formal and informal contexts.
- C1 (Advanced): Evolve 6 is the main textbook used at these levels, preparing students for advanced language use in both academic and professional contexts.
For those at the C2 (Proficiency) level, which is regarded as near-native proficiency, we transition to the Proficiency Masterclass book. This resource is specifically designed to help students refine their language skills to the highest standard, perfect for those aiming for complete fluency.
