General English is a sequential and developmental set of courses designed to develop students' communication skills and fluency in:
General English prepares students so that they can use English to communicate fluently with confidence and accuracy in all situations.
The General English courses have been designed so that students can enter TIES with little to no English skills and knowledge and leave proficient, confident and ready to make choices for their future. Students will be tested to ascertain an appropriate level of entry into the course from beginner to advanced. Students may also begin on any Tuesday during school terms and study at TIES from four weeks to forty weeks.
Because TIES incorporates small class sizes this means that students have more one on one contact with teachers and therefore more opportunities to learn, practice, improve and excel in English communication. Students spend 22 hours per week in English language instruction.
