General English courses for Adults

Improve your overall ability in speaking, reading, listening and writing. Develop your understanding of English grammar and pronunciation, and expand your range of vocabulary.

We teach adult students, 16 years of age and over, at a variety of levels, from Elementary to Advanced. General English courses build on each other, so you can start at the level best suited to your ability and work your way up.

Our communicative approach ensures that all students, even beginners, take an active part in lessons. We use internationally-acclaimed textbooks as well as supplementary material to suit the individual needs of students. In addition, teachers use computers, video and audio materials to help you in your learning. Our modern classrooms and computer room provide some of the best learning facilities in Sri Lanka.

We assess students on participation, continuous speaking performance, written 'portfolio task', and either through a grammar test, a writing test, or speaking task. There are no formal examinations, but you must attend at least 70% of the course and show satisfactory progress in your work portfolio to get a certificate of success.
