This Special Focus Programme combines 20 lessons of General English with 10 lessons focused on language study inspired by your destination, for a complete intensive experience that is tailored to you and your personal reasons for learning.

Structured classroom study will also support each theme, with themes changing weekly. These could include: 'Business English - Tours of Local Businesses', 'Describing Art & Culture - Museum Tours', 'Talk like a Local - Neighbourhood Visits', and 'The Language of Sports - Stadium Visits'.

Depending on the centre and available timetable, students enrolled in this course will be taken outside the classroom 1 - 2 times per week. Students will visit various locations, which will support the learning they complete in the classroom.
