How it Works
Immersive English is a unique sixty week, hybrid language course with two components: Homestudy and Classroom. Homestudy helps to improve reading, vocabulary, comprehension and listening skills. It is also important preparation for group discussions. Exercises are based on authentic reading and listening material from English media (The Guardian Newspaper, BBC, Wikipedia, TED Talks, Youtube, etc.). In the classroom the focus is entirely on conversation. For ninety minutes participants have an opportunity to practise, and enhance, their fluency by engaging in paired discussions with fellow students.
