Intensive English course

inlingua Vancouver's Intensive English course is a course for students who want to improve their English language skills through two types of lessons. Improve your speaking, listening, pronunciation, grammar, reading, writing, vocabulary skills and more.

IP1 – Intensive English course is an English course for students who want to learn English in a fun, dynamic and interactive way. Intensive course students can take inlingua Vancouver´s morning Speaking Lessons, where they will be improving your speaking skills and your grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing and vocabulary skills. We use a special teaching technique called the inlingua method. The method allows each student to speak English, practice using target language and progress quickly.

In the afternoon, Intensive English course students can choose from a wide range of Elective Lessons such as Speaking, Grammar Plus, English Brush Up, Pronunciation, Listening, Fluency Through Accuracy, Introduction to Business, Writing or Fluency Through Narrative, from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM. As you learn English, you will become accurate, fluent and confident in your English ability.

Instead of taking the morning Speaking Lessons plus one Elective Lesson, students in this course may choose to take one of inlingua Vancouver's specialized courses such as Business English or inlingua's Test Preparation Courses like Cambridge CAE or FCE or TOEFL iBT test preparation courses. These courses typically run from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM.
