English Classes
The General English program provides English classes for anyone interested in improving their English language ability. We use an integrated skills approach that combines skills in the classroom for a richer learning experience. By integrating all language skills — listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary — we help students learn the whole of the language, rather than specific pieces. For in-person classes, NSC offers Integrated Skills at six different proficiency levels.
Program Overview:
- We offer rolling enrollment in four sessions per year: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.
- In-person classes are held at the NSC office and meet twice a week (2 hours per session) for 10 weeks.
- Six class levels offered, from Beginner to Advanced
- The cost for the full session is $100
