Our Teenager courses have been specially developed by the British Council for Ukrainian teenagers. They involve a balance of speaking, listening, reading and writing in communicative activities that mimic real life situations. This helps prepare teenagers to use English in adult life, at work and in higher education. They also focus on grammatical accuracy, vocabulary and spelling which is vital in order to pass international English exams and to make the right impression in many professional and academic contexts later in life.
