Preparation classes. Our classes have an average of 11-13 students per class.

All class materials for General English courses are provided free to the student. We don’t use one

textbook because for each level we have developed a special curriculum using a range of

internationally approved textbooks as well as DVD’s, magazines, listening files, online learning,

newspapers and other resources developed by the school.

General English morning classes teach essential grammar, vocabulary, functions and improve

students' writing and reading skills. Students also receive a lot of listening and speaking practice and

teachers encourage students to practise their speaking, give opinions and ask questions.

General English afternoon classes concentrate even more on the fluency skills introduced in the

morning classes. There is a lot of pair and group work discussions on many varied and interesting

topics and exercises to improve listening skills used in everyday English.

Every Friday afternoon students can choose: special class options, Job Club, a cheap activity, a

movie at school or a practice test (IELTS, TOEIC).

countries. At Worldwide School you can speak with and learn English with students from many

different countries. This is a wonderful chance to REALLY learn and experience international English.
