Programs

Standard English Course
Standard English Course This is the most popular course in all CES schools. The Standard General English Course takes place every morning from Monday to Friday, leaving you free to join the Social Programme or study on our CES Online e-learning platform and in our Self- Access facilities every afternoon. Your morning lessons are divided into two parts, usually taught by two different teachers. Lessons concentrate on building your knowledge of the language, focusing primarily on helping you increase your vocabulary and improving your grammar so that you attain the levels of accuracy you require. Lessons also work on improving your overall communicative proficiency and fluency, focusing on the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing. In addition to this, you will work on specific pronunciation difficulties and expand the range of language you use in real-life situations.
Combination Course
Combination Course On our Combination Course, you will follow the Standard Course in the mornings and have two afternoons of private individual lessons. These are designed to meet your individual requirements and give you the perfect opportunity to work on specific language areas of your choice with your own teacher. In advance of your course or during your first individual lesson, you will complete a Needs Analysis form with your teacher, in which you can identify particular areas to work on. This helps your teacher to plan your programme according to your learning needs and ensures you get the maximum benefit from your lessons.

Accommodation

Homestay and Private Home Accommodation

One of the best ways to learn more about the people of England is to choose homestay/private home accommodation.

A homestay is a home that can accept up to 4 guests. The hosts treat students as a full member of the household, eating together and sharing the common living areas. In homestays, you can expect to live with students of different nationalities (if you have not requested otherwise). Family life is informal and the people are welcoming, friendly and talkative, so you will have plenty of opportunities to practise your English.

Private home accommodation is accommodation in a private home for adult students (over 16 students) that can accept more than four students. There may be less direct contact with the host(s) as a consequence. Private home accommodation is not suitable for the under-16s. In private homes, you can expect to meet a number of other students of different nationalities.

CES is able to offer our students in Leeds a large selection of homestay/private home accommodation. Homestay/private home accommodation includes breakfast, packed lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Average travel time from homestays/private homes and to the school is 30-45 minutes by public transport.
