English Language Training

A course designed to improve English language skills for non-native teachers of English

This course covers all the language skills - speaking, listening, reading and writing as well as pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar activities.


Your class work includes individual, pair and group work, discussions, debates, project work, presentations, written tasks and listening exercises to improve your English communication skills.


This course is of significant benefit to non-native speakers of English who are required to teach English or a subject through English, e.g. CLIL teachers. Those who need to work on projects, exchange programmes or committees and need to liaise with English-speaking colleagues or parents of their students can increase their ability and confidence with our Intensive English course.
