 Our
general English courses, sometimes described as
"all rounder" courses, are the basis
for developing the four cornerstones of language
acquisition: speaking, listening, reading and
writing. In the classroom context, however, major
emphasis is placed on speaking and listening.
Homework assignments are given regularly, and
deal more specifically with reading and writing.
Curriculum
The core text in these courses is the New Interchange
series, published by Cambridge University Press.
In addition, teachers use a diverse range of supplementary
resources to facilitate learning.
Levels
General English is divided into 4 levels:
Introductory, Basic (1-2-3), Intermediate (1-2-3),
and Advanced (1-2-3).
Placement Test
A student's placement within a particular level
is based on the ALC proficiency test, which is
administered to all prospective students. The
cost is NRS 600.
