Accelerated General English

Accelerated English is the addition of IELTS Preparation class to the Intensive General English Levels 4 to 6. This course is 35 hours per week, and it allows students the opportunity to develop test taking strategies that are not taught in General English. Students acquire and use advanced grammar and academic vocabulary extensively. Studying IELTS enables students to concentrate on developing the academic skills required to succeed in their General English levels and also prepares them to enter our Pathway Programs. CLLC’s Accelerated Program gives students an opportunity to complete their levels more quickly than the Intensive program. Students will study General English and IELTS Preparation for 35 hours per week (46 lessons/week). Students study our primary classes of Reading & Writing and Listening & Speaking in addition to IELTS Preparation. CLLC’s Plus One class is also included and gives students the opportunity to focus on additional language skills that are different from their primary classes. Students may take the Accelerated Program if they are in CLLC’s Level 4, 5, or 6. They receive additional support from their Academic Manager to ensure they are on track to complete the level in 6 weeks, instead of the Intensive Program’s 10 week levels. This program can be taken for a maximum of 18 weeks. The Accelerated Program is best for students who have a tight timeline to reach their goal of attending college or university or want to challenge themselves while studying English.
