LONDON
The London school is in Central London, next to Bond Street Station and the famous shopping area of Oxford Street. The school is in a quiet pedestrian street in the historic and exclusive area of Mayfair.
Why study in London?• A varied social programme• World-famous tourist attractions such as the London Eye and the Houses of Parliament within easy reach of the school• With over 200 events taking place each day, London hosts the best theatre, musicals and exhibitions in Europe• Enjoy the many city parks with their quiet and relaxing gardens.• Good transport links to anywhere else in the UK and Europe
HASTINGS The Hastings school is ideal for students who prefer to study in a small coastal town. The Hastings school has wonderful views across Warrior Square and the beach. The atmosphere is personalised and friendly. The train station is 5 minutes from the school with trains running directly to London, which is only an hour and a half away.
Why study in Hastings?• Hastings and its surrounding area have many historical attractions• Cheaper course prices than London • Cheaper cost of living• Smaller city than London so everywhere is a convenient distance away• Less foreign students than in London so more English is heard on the streets• The school is located less than 2 minutes from the beach• Self-catering kitchen so students can prepare and store their own lunch

CAPE TOWN The Cape Town school is located in central Cape Town, and is very close to some of the city’s best bars, restaurants and cafes. Now is a great time to visit the city as it prepares itself for the 2010 World Cup.
Why study in Cape Town?• Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa and offers a wonderful mix of old and new• Cheaper cost of living than the UK• Some of our host families are within walking distance of the school• Amazing adventure sports, wonderful tourist attractions and breathtaking scenery and wildlife
It is an absolutely fantastic school. Because the teachers are spontaneous, the students are from different cultures, everybody is very friendly and they are here for the same reason, to learn English! I am really happy that I chose this school

Adult Courses General English & Combination Courses
The General English course is for students who wish to improve their English language skills for use in everyday life. The course practises all the language skills – Listening, Speaking, Reading & Writing and focuses on improving students’ communication skills. Students can combine the General English course with private lessons or specialised classes.
For full details of our timetable, please visit our website.
GENErAL ENGLISHAlthough the course is based on a course book syllabus, the emphasis is on practising all language skills in the most communicative way possible. Supplementary materials such as real life print and internet media, songs, radio, television and novels, as well as worksheets, role plays, pair work and group work are used by the teacher according to the topic being covered and the needs of the students.

GrOuP & PrIvATE LESSONSThese courses are designed to maximise the student’s time in the school. These combination courses are a mix of group classes and private (one-to-one) lessons. Each lesson is 50 minutes in length. For the private lessons, the student has the chance to decide exactly what they would like to study. This could be to work on an area of weakness, to explore another subject of interest such as English literature or culture, or to work on a more specific area of study (business communication, presentation skills etc). The student completes a detailed ‘Needs Analysis’ to enable the teacher to focus the lesson effectively. A study plan is then designed to meet the student’s needs.

The 50+ course is an enjoyable way to practise your English and become more confident at communicating. You will study English every morning, practising communication skills to use during the afternoon excursions. You will concentrate particularly on speaking, listening and reading skills, and the vocabulary and grammar necessary for social situations and guided tours.The Activity Programme will include 3 half-day excursions per week and 1 full day excursion per week. The afternoon excursions will introduce you to some of the famous places around Hastings, and the full day excursions will take you further afield to London and Windsor.
Did you know? The Battle of Hastings is the most significant moment in the history of the English language. The English king was defeated by the French and for the following 300 years the official language was French! This is why the English we speak today includes so much French vocabulary.

Here are some examples of typical activities students can get involved in.

I have to say that this course is one of the best experiences in my life. I’ve learned a lot of things like never before. Not just about England, but also about other nationalities. Great opportunity.
