Course programme

English Language

As advances in communications technology shrink the world, the need to talk to another becomes increasingly important. Over 800 million people worldwide speak English.
The CECOS London College offers the necessary skills and facilities to teach English for all requirements, from basic level to highest standards.

Objectives
To teach English to students in structured lessons at a pace to suit each individual. To encourage a friendly but disciplined atmosphere. To provide books and computer-based training for all areas of learning. To offer a friendly and relaxed social atmosphere.
To help students practise, develop and succeed in their studies. To develop fluency in English to enable students to undertake further studies in British Universities.
Lessons are carefully planned to be clear and useful but also to be enjoyable and memorable. Our teachers are native-English speakers and well qualified, experienced and professional. Every effort is made to combine students of different nationalities in each class. The use of course-books is practised and computer-based training supplements traditional classroom teaching.

Classes are held at four levels:

1. Elementary

In this course the student learns how to describe processes and procedures; how to tell simple stories and write simple letter; and how to listen to natural speech and understand the gist of what is being said. At the same time further aspects of the English tense system are studied, including the present continuous, the past continuous, the first and second conditionals, future time clauses, and the use of the passive in the present simple and the past simple.

2. Intermediate

At this level the student learns how to recognise and use all aspects of the English tense system and how to use modal verbs; how to talk with reasonable ease in the usual social situation; how to give descriptions of films, programmes, and persons' characters. The student is encouraged to read newspapers and simple popular books for pleasure and to take part in discussions. The student learns how to write simple narratives and summaries, and also formal and informal letters.

3. First Certificate

This course prepares students for the Cambridge First Certificate Examination. This level equips the student to understand and respond to spoken English and various registers of written English; to write compositions on various subjects and in different styles; to re-phrase sentences; handle idioms and verbs.

4. Certificate of Proficiency

This course prepares students for the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency Examination. This course takes all the aspects of First Certificate English to deeper levels of understanding and fluency, helping you to speak, read and write like a native English speaker.
