All about English courses in London for foreigners — how to go and to choose a language school or long term program.
Probably, the first place you would think of when it comes to studying English abroad is good old London. Why? This city provides boundless opportunities to dive into the English culture and hear the standard English variant of the language. Besides, it abounds in language courses and schools to suit any wallet and preference.
The UK capital boasts more than 100 English courses and schools. They all differ in various parameters: age group, specialization, length, pricing. Let’s look in the detail.
Courses for kids
London English schools offer language camps and general courses at school.
Language camps are half-a-day learning sessions followed by excursions, sports activities and workshops. These camps are perfect for the kids between 8 and 17 years who need the language for their studies.
General courses at school are timetabled classes for teenagers from 16 to 18 years, who are independent enough to attend school in a foreign country.
Courses for adults
Adults can attend general English, business course, IELTS and TOEFL preparation, as well as family courses.
General English courses at school are designed to teach students the correct pronunciation, obtain excellent grammar skills and expand their vocabulary. Any English level will do for such a course, and the academic load varies from 15 to 56 hours per week.
Business courses will suit those, who need the language in their day-to-day business routine. Here students are taught the basics of marketing, finance and business negotiations in English. Required English proficiency level is B2 and beyond.
IELTS and TOEFL preparation courses are for those who wants to apply to a foreign college or university. Students do tests, practice effective reading and essay writing skills. It’s better to choose a course lasting for 4 weeks and longer.
Family courses suit parents and kids, who want to study the language together. Classes are organized in the same school building. Kids participate in sporting activities and workshops.
London language schools offer programs for teenagers and adults:
Accelerated degree programs for school kids and International Year Zero for those who have already left school.
