General English classes focus on enabling students to use English effectively as a means of international communication. Our teachers are all qualified, experienced and able to provide students with practical and effective learning experiences. Classes are generally small with intermediate to advanced level classes averaging 15 students. In order to better address learning needs, lower level classes are usually much smaller. Individual learning plans to monitor achievement and to establish realistic learning goals are developed for each student. At Brisbane North Institute of TAFE we understand that all students learn differently and need to be treated as individuals.
Students participate in small groups with lots of opportunities to develop and practise their conversational fluency. Various electives are offered to better target individual learning goals. Real to life learning is combined with the more traditional approach to learning in order to provide the student with a 'well-rounded' learning experience. Our new Rapid progress system ensures that students reach their goals quicker.
General English is available at the following levels:
- Beginner
- Elementary
- Pre-Intermediate
- Intermediate
- Upper Intermediate / Advanced
Visitor and working holiday visa holders are welcome to study full time or part time for up to 3 months. ELICOS students are eligible for a student card and the associated benefits (which include travel concessions and access to all campus facilities).
Duration: 2 to 50 weeks (full time 25 hours per week)
