Position Overview:


The General English Stream helps students develop English language skills for personal or professional reasons; classes focus strongly on developing fluency in speaking and listening as well as grammar, reading, and writing.

Students entering this level can communicate easily on everyday matters, but with a limited range in style and expression. They demonstrate a range of common everyday vocabulary and idioms but may avoid topics with unfamiliar vocabulary. They may be reasonably fluent and able to use the telephone for interpersonal communication. Pronunciation difficulties may exist and can still restrict overall communication.

Students at this level can write and read well about familiar topics, but still have some difficulty in more specialized contexts.

They can understand the purpose and main idea of written texts and can write short reports, short letters, and notes on familiar topics

They will also develop their knowledge of grammatical structures, and will learn to use more complex tense and sentence forms consistently.
