The Spring School of English
COURSES


We provide EFL (English as a Foreign Language) tuition at every level dependent on the number and level of students.  At all levels our students will be able to improve their language in all four skills: Listening, speaking, reading and writing. The levels offered are:

Beginner Level: This level is suitable for the students with a very basic or no knowledge of English language.

Elementary Level (CEFR* Level A1): Students with a basic knowledge of English vocabulary and grammar will benefit from this level.  Such students are already able to communicate in simple situations and are willing to engage themselves in class activities.

Pre-Intermediate Level (CEFR Level A2):At this level, the students are able to further interact, have longer conversations, write paragraphs and also short letters, and utilise what they have learned in real world situations.

Intermediate Level (CEFR Level B1):A more challenging and demanding level for students who have already mastered simple to moderate situations.  The students at this level will be exposed to a vast variety of vocabulary, grammatical points, reading and writing materials and will be expected to engage in situational conversations and discussions, write longer paragraphs as well as letters, and finally observe accuracy.

Upper-Intermediate Level (CEFR Level B2):Students will further improve their wide scope of vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, reading, writing and use of English.  Such students will gain the knowledge to hold conversations in almost any situation, read newspaper articles and write different types of letters as well as short stories.

Advanced Level (CEFR Level C1): This level offers perfection to those who enjoy a very high standard of English language and is, in fact, the highest level currently offered.  Students will be able to engage in any situation and conversation, write articles, narrative and descriptive pieces.

Cambridge Exam courses (ILETS, FCE, CAE and CPE): These courses are especially designed to prepare those whose aim is to study at university or those who wish to achieve an international recognised qualification. Students must have attained English knowledge at intermediate level to be able to start such courses. In addition to listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, the students will further improve their knowledge on vocabulary and grammar and will learn exam techniques. These courses are offered if sufficient number of students enrol on the course

We have a communicative approach to teaching English which means students communicate in written and spoken situations as they do in the real world.

Students undergo a written examination on the first day at school and also receive a short interview to determine their linguistic ability and place them in the most suitable class.
