This course is ideal for anyone who uses English in a business context and needs to work on specific aspects of the language.
The English Combination programme combines general English group lessons with individual business English tuition to meet your learning needs.
You will have 15 hours per week of General English lessons in multinational classes (maximum 12 students), to practise all aspects of the language and gain confidence in speaking and listening. Your lessons will include a mixture of speaking, listening, reading, writing, grammar and pronunciation exercises, based around carefully chosen textbooks and complementary materials.
Before you start your course, we will send you a needs analysis and ask you to take an online placement test. With this information, we can plan a detailed syllabus for your 6 hours per week of individual business English tuition. You can add extra individual lessons if you require an even more intensive programme.
Outside the classroom, you can take part in an optional 2 hours of guided self study and use the Excel English App to continue improving your English. You can also join our social programme to explore London, and practise the English you have learned.
