Course Description: Our Intensive English Essentials modules offer focused, practical, and accessible learning for motivated learners who want to improve their English communication skills in a short time. Each level—Lower Intermediate, High Intermediate, and Advanced—is divided into two consecutive five-week modules. These flexible, stand-alone modules are carefully designed to support learners with diverse goals, schedules, and backgrounds.
▶ Module 1 builds a strong foundation through vocabulary development, grammar review, and confidence-building speaking activities. Students practice everyday conversations and interactive group work using instructor-selected materials.
▶ Module 2 builds on the skills from Module 1 with a practical, task-based focus. Students strengthen their ability to express ideas clearly in real-life situations through guided discussions, collaborative tasks, and communication strategies.
【Topics Covered in Module 2】
 • Practicing everyday conversations (introductions, small talk)
 • Talking about daily routines and schedules • Shopping dialogues and role-plays
 • Asking for and giving directions
• Sharing past experiences and telling short stories
Students are encouraged to take both modules in sequence for maximum progress, but each module can also be taken independently depending on individual needs and prior experience. Whether brushing up on essential skills or preparing for more advanced use in work or life, Intensive English Essentials provides an engaging and supportive environment to help you grow in confidence and fluency.
