BUELI offers six levels of General English from Beginner to Advanced. Courses run in 10 week blocks. We recommend students to start at the beginning of a 5 week block. General English students are assessed on weekly tasks, mid-term and end of term tests in the four skills of reading, writing, speaking and listening, and grammar.
Our programs are self paced and students are tested every five weeks. Once a student has improved sufficiently, they may move up to the next level. On average a student can expect to stay on one level for 10 weeks. Full-time students study for 25 hours per week. Part-time study is also available (visa permitting) for 17.5 hours per week.
General English programs commence every 10 weeks throughout the year. On arrival, you will be tested and placed in the best class for you. Classes are small and are organised to make sure that each group includes people from as many different countries as possible. Classes at each level focus on everyday English, and you will have a variety of activities. These include: active listening; pair and group practice; vocabulary development; video clips; role play and drama; excursions to local places of interest; self-access language newspaper reading; discussion groups; writing workshops; daily journals (with corrections and grammar activities); music; television and movies; debates; games; speed reading etc. Your work will be continuously monitored by your teachers to assess your progress. You will also complete homework and participate in classroom projects. You will have tests and receive a written report every 10 weeks.
