Learning English will change your life. It’s the international language of business and diplomacy and is spoken in over 100 countries. More than 1.5 billion people already speak English, and another 1 billion are learning it. If you study English as a second language, you’ll be able to work around the world, improve your career prospects, communicate confidently with people from many different countries, and learn much more from books, the media and the internet.
English language schools offer you a wide range of ESL courses. You can learn English for the workplace, or academic English to help you study at university in an English-speaking country. English schools can help you prepare for the important TOEFL, IELTS or Cambridge exams, or even to teach English as a second language.
Which English Language course is right for you?
Many students choose to learn English in an English-speaking country. This gives you the chance to speak English in real-life situations, and learn about a different culture. Many language schools are ‘English only zones’, meaning you cannot speak any other language. It’s the best way to practice conversation in English!
Choose the right level of English language study. Do you want to use your ESL course as a pathway to university? You’ll need to feel confident in spoken and written English, exam writing, research – and perhaps focus on your TOEFL or IELTS preparation. If you want to learn English for work, business terms and numeracy skills will also be important. If you want to teach English as a second language, you’ll need to study English for a TESOL qualification.
Your English language school will also help you with accommodation and study tours, so you have a great cultural experience while you make friends with other students from all over the world. And you may be able to combine your English course with a working holiday on a student visa.
