Practising English with learners from other countries: Our Secondary Plus course has an exciting new feature. We connect students with other English learners from our global network of teaching centres in over 40 countries. With this unique experience they can practise their English skills while exploring different cultures. In this academic year, students will work with their peers in other countries on projects that broaden their horizons and help them become globally connected citizens of the world. Delivered in a safe and relaxed way by our expert teachers, all these experiences will be organised around the existing learning curriculum and class schedules.

Lively speaking classes with expert teachers help you find your voice 

During class, you will: 

  • have lots of time to speak English and practice pronunciation with your teacher and fellow classmates 
  • develop your communication skills by working on projects in pairs and small teams 
  • build up to a final project at the end of each module that has a real-life outcome, such as a presentation or blog

  • focus on real-world topics like artificial intelligence, gaming, ethical food and climate change. 

Small classes mean you will get the best out of learning English because you are guaranteed attention and personal support from your expert teacher. 

Develop life and study skills for a global world 

Our English course helps you develop into an assertive, independent global citizen:

  • by working with classmates on team tasks, you will build collaboration and leadership skills

The learning hub helps you make more progress

To help you get the most out of each class, your teacher will set you interactive, independent study on the learning hub to complete before and after class. This means you will come to class fully prepared so you can focus on improving your English-speaking skills: 

  • everyone learns in their own way so you will complete the independent study at your own pace, helping you to build your confidence to speak English and get ready for your future
  • tasks are specially designed to develop your reading, writing and listening skills
  • you will use real-world English materials, such as magazine articles, job adverts, film reviews, music podcasts and sports vlogs to improve your grammar and vocabulary 
  • a personalised dashboard will help you to work on your projects and keep track of your progress, anytime.
