Recognising the Different Types of English Course
- Academic English: For students who want to undertake a course of higher education in the English language. On a course of this nature students learn how to express concepts, ideas, and theories using formal, impersonal language. Students also practise essay writing, giving formal presentations, listening, and note-taking for lectures.
- Business English: Tends to cover the same grammatical structures as general English. However, the context for using the language is always a business meeting, a negotiation, a formal letter, or another function of day-to-day business life. These courses may be sponsored by a company for its employees.
- English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL): For students who are now living in an English-speaking country where they want to settle. Practical skills such as speaking to employees at government offices and banks or visiting healthcare professionals are included in the course material.
- English for Specific Purposes (ESP): A branch of teaching whereby you analyse exactly what the student needs to do in English and gear the whole course towards that outcome. For example, you may teach English for nurses, or English for the banking industry.
- Exam classes: When students plan to take a particular exam, the preparatory course is entirely focused on this outcome. So you show students how to tackle the exam questions, breaking them down so that they understand what the examiners are looking for. Students analyse past papers and do practice tests.
- General English: Teaches students everyday language and usually comprises reading, writing, speaking, and listening, which are the four main skills of language learning.
- One to one: This might also be called a private lesson, although it could be arranged in the teacherâs own time or as part of a job at a school. It basically means that there is one teacher and one student in the class, so you get to focus on the learnerâs individual needs.
- Presessional and Insessional: These courses are for students who have received an offer of a place on a degree course. A presessional course is generally run by the university thatâs offering the placement and is designed to acclimatise students to cultural differences and academic expectations. Successful completion of the course may be a requirement before the student can take up his place on the degree course. Then, insessional lessons are for international students who are already doing their degree course but require extra support in using academic English in order to succeed.
