Our partner school BEET Language Centre was established in Bournemouth in 1979. It is a family run school, meaning you’ll feel easily at home and enjoy a friendly and warm atmosphere. The school has a strong focus on quality teaching, offering all kinds of courses, from General English to IELTS and Cambridge Examination Preparation and Teacher Training. The school averagely has between 20 and 40 different nationalities, providing a perfect mix of nationalities and an international atmosphere!
The school organises many activities outside the classroom, as this is considered an important part of your language immersion as well. This way, you’ll have opportunities to practise your English and build friendships with your fellow students. You also learn more about life and culture in England. Some activities are free of charge, for others (like excursions), you need to pay a price.
Some examples of possible activities are:
The intensive course in Bournemouth has 20, 24 or 28 English lessons per week of 45 minutes each, from Monday to Friday, in groups of max 14 students (the average is 12).
The standard course has 20 lessons of general English. Classes are focused mainly on communication, with particular emphasis on improving pronunciation, oral comprehension and writing.
If you book 24 or 28 lessons you will have, in addition to the 20 lessons of general English, elective workshops. Each workshop is made of 4 lessons per week. If you have chosen the 24 lessons per week programme, you select one option; if you have chosen the 28 lessons per week programme, you select two options between the following:
Estimated class schedule*:
The 20 lessons programme is divided into two different sessions (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), in order to have free time in different moments. Usually, classes are between 8.45 and 12.05 or between 14.20 and 17.40, with a break of 20 minutes between every session. If you choose the programme with 24 or 28 lessons, you will also have classes from Tuesday to Thursday, from 12.15 to 14.10.
*The time schedule can be subjected to changes. Some workshops are not available all the year.
Minimum age is 16 years.
