English Language Programmes

The English language is essential for international business, communications and work opportunities.

The Francophone countries in West Africa have traditionally not taught English to a high standard. Therefore students have only been able to study in French speaking countries. This has reinforced the handicap for West Africans who want to compete on the world stage as English is the most important world language at the moment. Even taking up jobs for N.G.O’s such as UNHCR or UNICEF is impossible without English. Private companies also demand English if employers are to achieve advancement in the career structure. Therefore we offer a wide range of English courses to help prospective students overcome this handicap.

We offer a range of language programmes targeted at the individual needs of the student:

  • From simply learning General English which will teach you how to use English effectively, you can go on to General English Plus which will give you key language skills and help you to develop your fluency in speaking.
  • You can reinforce this with specific classes in Conversation and Pronunciation this is an intensive course to develop your conversation and listening skills

We provide Total Immersion Programmes with accommodation all meals and local visits included.
