Before I came to Bell, I couldn't speak English. After 5 months, I can use English and I'm improving every day. I've never experienced lessons like this, they are interactive and feature lots of fun activities.

When I came to Bell, the staff and all the teachers were amazing. I want to be a teacher at university in psychology one day. So I'll definitely be coming back to Bell next year to help me get there!

Course overview

On this course, you will:

  • Advance your pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar structures
  • Learn to communicate effectively with others, express in-depth opinions and present arguments
  • Develop concise and purposeful writing techniques with logical structure
  • Critically analyse different media and understand meaning, opinions, attitude and tone

PERSONAL & RESPONSIVE LEARNING

Advance your language skills.

The best way to prepare for the exam is to understand what content and structure to expect and master the critical skills you need to tackle these questions.

Practising example tests and advancing your vocabulary and grammar is important for this exam. However, to perform well, you need to have developed advanced skills across your reading, writing, speaking and listening.

Your teachers will develop a personal study plan so that you can also strengthen your capabilities in preparation for the exam, like interacting with others, maintaining discussion, expressing in-depth opinions and presenting your arguments.
