The General 20 course focuses on language fluency as a main goal. The four major skills students will practice are reading, writing, speaking and listening. Students are active participants and learn grammar, vocabulary and common expressions by working and speaking with their classmates.
This course is suitable for students of any level from Beginner to Advanced who want to improve their level by gaining confidence in all areas of the English language and who want to improve their fluency and ability to use English in everyday situations and contexts.
Please note that the first day is mainly focused on pre-test and orientation. This is the timetable of the student for the first day:
08:30 - Student arrival and check-in
09:00 - Placement test and interviews
11:00 - Welcome breakfast and orientation with various EC staff members
12:00 - Welcome tour of school neighbourhood
Students taking courses with 20 or 24 lessons per week will not have class on the first day due to orientation, while those taking courses with 30 lessons per week will have two classes in the afternoon on the first day after orientation.
After the first day, lessons alternate between morning and afternoon sessions on a daily basis.
What can you expect on this course?
Real English
You will experience how English is spoken and used in many real-life situations. Relevant and engaging lessons will develop your understanding of grammar, vocabulary, idioms and pronunciation, and give you practice in the use of everyday English through the four skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Creative and energetic classes
Our teachers are qualified and experienced, and when it comes to creating lessons, they know what works. Classes are dynamic, engaging and motivating, designed to activate and build upon your strengths, whilst also giving targeted attention to your weaker areas. Relaxed and informal classroom environments create an encouraging atmosphere, to help you build your confidence, realise your potential and advance towards fluency.
Learn by doing
At EC, progress is maximised as students are encouraged to learn by doing. Our task-based lessons focus on the active production of English, promoting class participation and interaction between students.
Improve your ‘thinking time’
As your skills and confidence develop with support from your teachers, so too will your ability to listen, understand and respond quickly and effectively in English. You will notice these improvements most of all when you take your English outside of the classroom and into everyday conversation in one of our vibrant English-speaking destinations!
Expert support
Your teachers are trained to deliver on-going support, feedback and care throughout your time at EC. You will be taught by at least two teachers, exposing you to a variety of voices, improving your listening and boosting your vocabulary.
Authentic materials
We believe there is no substitute for authentic English so, in addition to text books, our teachers use real-life resources taken from newspapers, TV, radio and the Internet. The authentic nature of these materials gives our students an appreciation of the richness of the English language used in a variety of everyday contexts.

The location from the school was perfekt, next to you was the Quincy Market. The teacher are very nice, they teach very good so you can understand all. My classes were so nice, i have two new friends from the school. I didn't do any of the school activities because I wanted to spend time with my family, but they sounded really good!
Näytä yksityiskohdat » Lue lisää...In my opinion, this School has everything to make you feel satisfied and happy. Excellent teachers, and also the location and the facilities are great.
The housing its ok but I think could improve some aspects as: the cleaning, specially in the fridge, the towels to clean and to dry the stuff at the kitchen. The pans some of them are really old. Also I think that could exist a soap for washing plates and for washing clothes that can be used for every body. Doesn’t make sense to buy a bottle or can of detergent for 2 or 3 weeks. Could be great to replace the carpet in the bathroom and the curtain, and check the place to put the shampoo because it is rusty.
People at the front desk are friendly and open to attend your questions.
And the administrative staff is also very interested in addressing your needs, so they set up your schedule in the best way, for letting you reach your goals.
I loved the city, the facilities and the friendly staff.

The location of the EC school is very easy to reach by train. That helps a lot. The activities are also interesting, however I would prefer to make them more out of charge, as you know for some of them students have to pay. I am not satisfied with the housing conditions. The rooms are in poor condition, kitchen stuff is not completed fully. Despite of our requests nobody made our cable TV work till now... But generally all seems OK for now.

I know that the school moved to a new building this year and I have heard from students that it is good as well. I didn't have a chance to participate in many activities but I know people enjoyed going to the Blue Man Group show, karaoke, football games, etc. As for the housing, my homestay family was ok, the food was good, and they were always ready to talk to us. I was a little disappointed with my room (it was a single, but the girl who lived in the room next to mine had a different schedule and had to walk through my room in the mornings. As I'm a light sleeper, I was always woken up as well). The location wasn't the best; they live in Dorchester and it wasn't always easy to get back from Downtown, especially at night. But I know that a lot of the homestay families live kind of far from the city center. In general, everything was good and I had a great time. Thank you for your assistance.

The teachers were very nice, above all Timothy; he changed the way I used to understand the language, I am very glad he was my teacher. The location, facilities, and activities were perfect. The atmosphere inside the academy was warm, friendly, and close. I learned a lot and I would really recommend it!!!!
