Make real progress in English this summer!

Our intensive summer courses for adults are designed to help you boost your English in just a few weeks, so you can gain confidence, improve your skills, and be ready to move on to the next level by the end of the course.

We offer three types of summer courses tailored to your goals: General English, Speaking and IELTS exam preparation. All courses take place over two or three summer sessions — either two or three weeks long. For General English you will have the chance to register for more than one session to make even more progress.

General English

If you want to improve your English for everyday life, work, or study, this is the course for you. Each session includes 32 hours of teaching (12 lessons x 2 hrs 40 mins) and focuses on speaking, listening, grammar, writing and vocabulary through practical, real-life content.

Want to improve faster? You can book both summer sessions (23 June – 11 July and 14 July – 1 August). Each session covers different topics and materials, so you'll learn new things every week and make even more progress toward your next English level.

The course uses Roadmap materials and the Padlet platform for extra activities and resources. Classes are taught by expert British Council teachers in a dynamic, interactive environment.

Take this course with the world’s English experts and you will:

  • Speak more fluently and confidently
  • Learn new vocabulary and grammar in context
  • Practice all language skills with expert guidance
  • Be ready to move up to the next level after the summer

Speaking 

If your goal is to speak English more confidently, this short but intensive course is ideal. With 8 engaging lessons (2 hrs 15 mins each), you’ll focus 100% on speaking — with plenty of real-life tasks, vocabulary building, pronunciation practice, and feedback.

With this course, you will:

  • Improve your fluency and spoken accuracy
  • Learn new vocabulary and expressions
  • Gain confidence in everyday conversations

IELTS preparation

If you're preparing for the IELTS exam, we offer two course formats:

Each course helps you build test strategies, practice with official IELTS materials (IELTS Coach), and receive individual feedback from your teacher. You’ll gain the confidence and skills to achieve your best score.

On our IELTS preparation course you will:

  • develop effective test techniques and strategies
