Our General English Language Courses will improve your English in the following skills

  • 2. Vocabulary: Increase and improve your existing vocabulary. With a better vocabulary base, you will be able to write and speak English more fluently.
  • 3. Grammar and Writing: Many students think grammar is boring! But at ATC studying grammar is both instructive and fun. Of course, with improved grammar will come improved writing and speaking.
  • 4. Reading: Reading is one of the most important features of our General English courses. We concentrate on improving your comprehension and general reading speed. Along with improvements in your vocabulary and grammar, your reading ability will improve as well as better preparing you for official tests, such as the IELTS, TOEFL or SAT.
  • 5. Progress checks: Frequent progress checks and reflection allow you and the teacher to monitor your development. These activities will also prepare you for the ATC mid-term and final exams.
