This full-time English class is communicative based with an emphasis on developing speaking and listening skills. Our Comprehensive English class is designed to help ESL students improve both spoken and written English. With six levels of study, this course features a comprehensive curriculum of integrated skills - grammar, vocabulary & idioms, speaking & listening, and reading & writing.
You can study English with our professional, experienced and attentive instructors who guide students towards fluency with creative and helpful learning activities. With 14 or less students in the classes, students have plenty of opportunity both to practice their English and meet interesting new friends from around the world.
There are six different levels of study, from beginner through advanced. A placement test helps us find the best class level for each student. At the end of each four-week session, each student will receive a written evaluation and have a one-on-one with one of their teachers. This is how we help you monitor your progress. After each three month semester, students receive a report card, and students receive a GEOS certificate when they finish their course. Our Comprehensive English Classes meet five days per week, for a total of 24 educational hours each week. Students work with two different teachers (one for the morning class and one for the afternoon class) and the most up-to-date, effective textbooks and materials available.
INTEGRATED SKILLS CLASS (AM) During the morning session, students study four English skills - reading, writing, speaking and listening - through a “Communicative Language Teaching” methodology. New grammar patterns are learned in the context of a conversation or a real-life situation. Students also use various activities to practice English conversation including listening tasks, role plays, and discussions. Practical reading and writing tasks and vocabulary studies are presented as well in our 6 available levels. Students can begin on any Monday.
ACTIVE LISTENING CLASS (PM) During the afternoon session, students will cover a variety of topics while practicing English conversation management, North American conversational styles, and pronunciation. Students learn commonly-used idioms and slang in a communicative way. Teachers also use various activities to practice these new idioms including listening tasks, role play, and discussion.

![]() The month I've spent at GEOS has been great, I've enjoyed every minute of it. The teachers have such enthusiasm for languages that it makes the learning process so much more enjoyable and slightly less difficult! The activities are always engaging, with a good balance between the 4 areas of learning & a great variety of exercises. With such a diversity of people from all over the world studying at the school, class discussions were always extremely interesting, I've made some great friends. Thank you & hope to see you again soon! Charlotte England |
