General English

At London Russell Square we understand that different students have different needs. The London Russell Square "learner-centred" approach to teaching English enables our teachers to meet your individual needs. Courses cover practice in all four skill areas: reading, writing, speaking and listening.

However, you will find the focus of our General English programmes is on speaking and listening - generally the main requirements of today's modern English speaker.

A typical General English programme includes:

• Developing and improving your spoken English to make you a clearer and more confident speaker
• Developing your listening and comprehension skills
• Learning and reviewing the basic grammatical structures of the English language
• Everyday English - language that you can use in real-life situations, both spoken and written
• Reading practice and comprehension testing

For all General English courses you will use a text book, which forms the basis of your study. Text books are also supplemented a variety of authentic materials.
