INTENSIVE ENGLISH

  • 9.30 - 15.30 / Monday to Friday /
  • 25 hours per week

Classes are small: Maximum 8 students per class year round (maximum 12 in the summer) with an average of 5-6 students per class.

   COFFEE BREAKS AT RLT

During the 20 minute morning coffee break, students have the opportunity to socialise with other students from around the world, teachers and other staff members, enjoy free coffee, tea, cake and biscuits and improve their social skills in English.  The coffee break is an integral part of the course where teachers and  students are encouraged to actively interact with each other and discuss exciting topics such as current international news items and topics of cultural interest including English customs and traditions.  Students also have the opportunity of catching up on their emails with the use of free internet access.

   WEDNESDAY MORNING LESSONS

All morning classes finish fifteen minutes earlier on Wednesdays for the weekly teachers' meeting to discuss ways of teaching, student welfare and other academic matters.
