EC Cambridge English Language School

As you may well know, learning the English Language, as with any Language, cannot purely be done in the classroom! Here at EC Cambridge we feel the best way to learn English, is to go to an English speaking country and take English Language Lessons so you can immerse yourself in the English culture and learn English outside the classroom!

Whatever your level, whether your learning English for the FCE, CAE, CPE or IELTS exams, whether your learning English as part of your job or for University, here at EC we like to aid you as much as possible!

Next week’s free activities are a great opportunity to meet other students and speak English together. Punting will continue next week weather permitting or you can take a walk up Castle Hill! Great St Mary’s is a big favourite as students get a fantastic view of Cambridge! And finally to mix it up, we have a visit to the Cambridge University Zoology Museum!

For the times and more information, pick up a program, available now from the computer room, common room and the academic office.

Calling all EC Cambridge English Language School Students.

The closing date for registration of the FCE, CAE and CPE exams will be the 20th October.

Your teachers will give you  more information and inform you of how to enroll.
