About the courses and lessons

Enrolment

Students can enrol for English classes any Monday, although there is some flexibility, and must book for a minimum of 2 weeks and a minimum of 2 days per week. For those wishing to take an exam (see below), we recommend a minimum commitment of 3-6 months, depending on the level of English on joining.

Students learn at their own pace but progress depends on commitment and how much work is done outside of the classroom. We encourage students to consolidate and expand the work we do in class in the 'real' world through the mediums of tv, film, newspapers, magazines & theatre.

Team2English has a dedicated and enthusiastic team of teachers who are strongly committed to providing the absolute best, whatever you choose to study.

Levels and Times

Students are allocated to classes based on the placement test which is taken on the first morning of the course – levels range from Beginner to Upper-Intermediate (subject to numbers). There is a maximum number of 8 students per class.

Lessons are held Monday to Friday from 930 to 1245 hrs (a mid-morning break is included) and provide 15 hours of tuition per week. There is also an option of 20 hours tuition where students take afternoon classes twice per week. Additionally, one to one sessions can be added to any programme.

General English

Our General English classes are ideal for students wanting to explore the language without deadlines or specific purposes. The four macro skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening are practised and students work independently and collaboratively in class. Whether students are looking to begin, improve or perfect their skills, these sessions give them the opportunity to achieve whatever they wish.

Throughout the sessions we try to present a balance of hard work and fun. We introduce new vocabulary, focus on aspects of pronunciation, encourage communication and yes, we teach grammar too! Coursebooks and workbooks are used and students will be advised which ones to buy. In addition to the books, teachers use worksheets, newspapers and realia.

Students receive a report and a certificate of attendance at the end of their course.

Exam preparation

For students wishing to take exams, we offer the following preparation classes twice a week (mornings only – see timetable):

PET – The Cambridge Preliminary English Test

FCE – The Cambridge First Certificate of English

IELTS – International English Language Testing Scheme

Classes begin in September & January and students will be entered for the appropriate exam date – usually December, March or June. Exams fees are currently about £95 per exam and not included in the course fees.
