English language courses at Sevenoaks School are carefully designed by Sevenoaks School teachers to ensure students leave with an enhanced level of spoken and academic English, while learning in a dynamic and collaborative way. Students on this programme will study two main components: general and academic English.
Students can select either the General English or Academic English course. The General English course is designed to improve students’ skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, deepen their understanding of grammar in order to improve accuracy in speaking and writing, and develop their confidence and knowledge of English vocabulary, in order to use it in real-life circumstances.
Academic English is aimed at those students with specific academic goals. Whether it is entry to a UK boarding school, formal English assessments or preparation for the workplace, this course helps students achieve those goals, through carefully structured lessons working on formal use of the English language.
In both General English and Academic English, British pupils from Sevenoaks School come in each day and spend afternoons with the international students, working collaboratively on projects, and allowing them to put their learnings into practice.
