Communicative teaching methods and a
friendly international environment make
learning English at Liverpool School of English
a pleasurable and enriching experience.
Students take a placement test on arrival to
assess their ability in English and are then
placed in the appropriate class.
General English classes introduce the main
linguistic concepts used in everyday
communication such as structure, syntax,
vocabulary and pronunciation. The focus is on
English for spoken communication, however
all skills are taught.
You work to familiarise yourself with
colloquial and standard English and how to
use it in everyday situations such as in the
home, in the bank, whilst shopping, eating out
or on the telephone. Higher level courses
build on this work to include more advanced
vocabulary and language skills.
