General English

The General Purpose Program (GPP) in English is designed to meet a whole range of needs, starting from the absolute beginner to more advanced students. The courses are highly interactive allowing you to practice the structure, vocabulary and expressions necessary for everyday life in any English speaking country. The focus of the lessons is speaking and listening and learners can confidently talk in English right from day one of the program. Realistic classroom practice is provided through a variety of activity-based procedures: role-play, fact-gathering tasks and problem-solving. The students' material includes reading, writing and listening activities that encourage students to review classroom learning.
