Average of 20 lessons of The General English Courses per week will be given to the students. The purpose of this course is for students to have more confidence in their conversational English. Extensive vocabularies the students will learn will dramatically improve their English.The General English courses start every Monday and are offered all year around. In the mornings, each student will receive lessons that are general and more comprehensive in order to help the students overall understanding of English. In the afternoons, instructions for more focused and special studies will be provided. The minimum qualifying age for this course is 16.The General English courses have different levels from Beginner to Advanced. When the students arrive at EC Boston, they will take a placement test to find a suitable level of instructions. However, this first placement will not be permanent, since at the end of every session students will be reevaluated and placed into different levels based on their improvement.Instructions given during the courses will be focused in five areas (grammar, reading, writing, speaking, and listening); and these courses will assist students to develop not only their general language skills but also their communication skills and conversational speech abilities. Every class will have 10 to 12 students on average and 14 at maximum. Class sizes are consciously planned to make the most ideal environment for students.
