What the course covers

• Organised around a real journey: booking a room, ordering food, asking directions, paying, and what to do when something goes wrong.
• Quick to pick up, quick to show: key sentence patterns, practice and common expressions you can use on your next trip.

Every learner has their own pace and their own stage of growth. If your English is not yet ready for a certificate course such as TOEIC, TOEFL or IELTS, that is no judgement on your ability — it means a steadier foundation and the habits of academic study have to come first. The Academic English Bridge Course is for learners preparing to enter a certificate course, and builds that foundation over a period of systematic training.

What the course covers

• Grammar and sentence patterns
• Vocabulary, including the words academic English runs on
• Reading comprehension and the analysis of a text
• Listening comprehension and catching the main point
• Writing in English, and the logic behind expressing an idea
• The study skills TOEIC / TOEFL / IELTS will later ask for

What you will be able to do

• Content and pace set by the teacher to match where you are now
• A steadier foundation in English and in academic study
• A move into the certificate course itself once the academic English is ready for it
• Not a step back — a firmer footing, so the next stage is learnt faster and with more confidence
