Learning another language is exciting - and challenging...
and we'll help you to be successful. Join a group course for
a minimum of two weeks or have private lessons for a week or
longer. Join a class on almost any Monday after writing a test
to assess your level. Each lesson lasts fifty minutes.
The inlingua International course books and other relevant
texts are used in lessons with supplementary materials taken
from newspapers, magazines or the internet.
We want you to use English confidently and appropriately in
many different situations.
Whether you are in a group or working individually with a trainer,
we use the best of modern methods, materials and teaching strategies
so you can do this successfully.
A balance of accuracy and fluency practice helps you to develop
listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar and vocabulary
skills. Different tasks and activities will motivate you and
meet your needs. Interactive CD Roms give extra practice in
specific areas. Discussions on videos and articles on different
topics, including South Africa, give you an awareness of the
cultural and social history of this country and encourage you
to share thoughts and ideas.
You will have regular evaluation meetings with your trainer/s
to make sure that you make excellent progress - and individual
help with pronunciation or any other area you or your trainer
feel is important.
20 group lessons per week, mornings only - from 09h00 - 12h40.
This course will help you communicate effectively in everyday
situations. GPP focuses on developing listening, speaking, reading
and writing skills and extending vocabulary - and introducing
the grammar to support that.
30 group lessons per week, mornings as above and afternoons
from 13h30 - 15h10. The aim is the same as the GPP, with the
additional afternoon lessons helping to build confidence through
general discussion and conversation.
30 group lessons as above and 5 individual lessons per week
(from 15h30 -16h20). The aims of the group lessons are the same
as in the GPP+. The individual lesson each day focuses on your
specific needs - pronunciation, giving presentations, writing
letters or reports, "travel" English, telephoning
etc.
30 group lessons per week (20 General English/10 Business English).
This is designed for business/professional people and combines
the GPP with the English needed at work/in business, particularly
in areas such as giving presentations, business writing, communicating
effectively on the telephone, negotiating, participating in
meetings and socialising with international clients.
Trainers often work with a number of clients from the same
company, which enables them to build up considerable knowledge
and expertise in that area. We are a validated examination centre
for the University of Cambridge Business
5 - 40 private lessons per week. This can be added on to your
group course or booked separately. Textbooks used internationally
form the core of the course and materials are adapted or designed
to meet your needs.
If you have a specific area of interest - e.g. wine tasting,
sailing,golf or SCUBA-diving, we can arrange some private lessons
to include some of the vocabulary needed. We can also arrange
those activities for you in the afternoons or over weekends.
We prepare candidates for the Cambridge First, Advanced and
Proficiency exams (FCE/CAE/CPE). These can be written in Cape
Town or in your home country. They are set examination preparation
classes and start 6 weeks before the examinations. Please contact
us for the dates. Those who are
not at the level required or want some extra input are welcome
to join us 12 weeks before the course.
IELTS, TOEFL and GMAT tuition is generally done one-to-one.
These are designed specifically for a group with similar interests
or for colleagues from the same company. Participants should
be at a similar level. Closed groups can be added on to the
GPP or IIP morning program - to give a specific focus or provide
opportunity for discussion - or be
run in the mornings from 09h00-12h40.
