All ETG courses are designed to help you develop your English quickly and confidently. We offer General English; Business English; Academic English and preparation for all English exams and tests.
General English
Our ETG Grammar Programme teaches the foundations of English in 60 clearly explained lessons. There is speaking practice for each student for every grammar lesson studied, with additional exercises provided for extra practice. Without good grammar and lots of speaking practice, students will never have good English!
Lessons at ETG include many other activities such as reading stories; developing vocabulary, and lots of conversation and practical exercises with other students and your teacher. Every hour at ETG counts, because learning with us is intense; productive, and most importantly, fun! Our school motto is Happy Studying with ETG!
If you attend class regularly (six hours a week is good) AND revise each lesson at home, it’s possible to complete the ETG Grammar Programme within 60 hours of classes at school. That’s three months from a complete Beginner to Intermediate level! Of course, if your English is past beginner level when you join us you will finish the Grammar Programme even more quickly!
