Why take a General English course on your study abroad trip?

Sharing is caring!

If you speak English already, why learn more? If you learn English on your own, it’s possible to learn just the vocabulary you need for what you’re doing.

Taking a General English course on your study abroad trip will seriously take your English to another level more effectively than studying alone at home in your country.

There are many reasons why General English is our most popular English language course. Let’s take a look at some of them. Read on to learn why General English courses are so important!

General English courses give students a chance to learn from real-life interactions and learn how English is really used by native speakers.

General English courses are highly recommended for students on many study English abroad programmes. Why? These courses focus on practical, everyday language while also learning about the culture of the country you are studying in.  

General English courses can help you learn the language necessary for doing business in English-speaking countries, such as America and the UK. This is not vocabulary for travelling or shopping – it’s more specialised than that. 

Being an international businessperson is the goal of many students that choose to learn English abroad. Think of legal contracts, emails, presentations and more.

An international businessperson will use the language in many different ways on different occasions, which changes what they learn and do each day of their studies.

Specialised vocabulary is key to understanding business communications in English. General English courses teach this language effectively because they expose students to many different kinds of communication styles and subjects.

Knowing the correct vocabulary for such situations also encourages you learn new phrases and expressions beyond those directly related to your course subject.

General English is also a great course to improve your conversational skills and learn new slang. General English courses teach you how to really speak English.

General English is designed to meet all of these needs while still making study time fun and meaningful. The more you learn, the more fluent you will be.

Our teachers provide interesting lessons in a nurturing classroom environment. You will learn a lot of English here at EC English, and you learn it in the same way you learn best.

You learn by listening to our teachers, speaking with them and around them, and practicing everything you learn outside the classroom. This is how you learn best.

General English courses are more suitable for students who learn best in a group and learn from listening, speaking and reading. If you learn better on your own by reading, writing and speaking, a one-to-one course might be a better option.

However, both options have their place and. we would be happy to advise you on which course is right for your study abroad trip and situation.
