Royal Business College

Royal Business College conducts General English classes over four levels: Beginner, Elementary, Pre-Intermediate, and Intermediate. Classes are small (average size 8 – 10 students) and taught by well-qualified and experienced tutors who are skilled at motivating and encouraging students, no matter whether their level is pure beginner or near-fluent. Teaching resources include regularly updated EFL text books, EFL videos and audio tapes, and supplementary materials from the College’s extensive Resource Library. Off campus visits are arranged with specific learning objectives in mind. Over the course of one term, classes might for example visit the museum, an ice-cream factory, the university and the Arts Centre, and carry out language tasks in each place. A careful balance of each of the four skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) is taught, and each student's progress in these skills is monitored and recorded. Students are expected to advance one level each 12-week term. Weekly progress tests are given each class, and an end-of-term examination determines whether the students will be promoted to the next level.
