General English Course (Elementary to Intermediate)

Course Overview


ACCHS is a great place to study English in Australia. We have English courses for students of every level. Students learn to speak with fluency and accuracy developing the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.

The General English course focuses on communication activities in functional and situational contexts. The classes are theme-based providing relevant practice which can be applied outside the classroom.

Small class sizes ensure that our friendly teachers (all of whom have native speaking proficiency in English) are able to attend to the needs of each individual student.

  • Elementary
  • Pre-Intermediate
  • Intermediate

It usually takes 12 weeks to cover one level of English.

Hours and Timetable: 20 hours in small class groups running from Monday to Friday 08:30am – 12:45pm (Morning Shift) and 01:15pm – 05:30pm (Afternoon Shift). In addition, we run free activities and outings most days after class in the afternoon and/or Friday morning.
