Summer English Course for International University Students

This 3-week course with an average of 15 study hours per week is taught on UCL's central London campus and aims to improve English language skills in the key areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing, through task-based activities, with an emphasis on improving communicative ability. This course is not suitable for beginners or elementary students and those attending will probably have studied English for several years at school, and may be studying English as part of their university degree. Classes are taught in small groups with an average of 14 students per class and cover English language, presentation skills and report writing. An academic research project conducted both in class and outside the university leads to a final presentation and report. Afternoon visits to places of significant cultural importance around London take place two to three afternoons a week and these are supported with preparation classes. Students will also have the opportunity to attend academic lectures, which will be followed by class discussions.
