The General English course integrates the four macro skills with grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
This approach provides students with the knowledge and the cultural understanding to succeed in a variety of contexts in an English-speaking country. Each of the skills requires the development of strategies that help students approach situations where they need to use their knowledge of English to communicate.
Future English currently offers Intensive English at five(5) Levels:
Students come to Future English with different proficiencies across the four macro skills and, as a result, all students need to take a placement test prior to the commencement of classes. All students take a speaking and writing test which is marked by the Director of Studies or the Assistant Director of Studies according to a criterion-referenced scale.
These tests and scales form the basis of the Placement Tests. Because the courses can accommodate students with only a very low grasp of English, Future English is able to accept students into the Elementary course even if they are at a very low level.
