This course will focus on developing the language skills necessary, covering the important aspects of English skills such as listening, reading, writing and speaking.

paraphrasing and general correspondence. The course will follow the curriculum content of the FCE (Cambridge First Certificate) and be taught by a certified English language teacher. Students wishing to enroll will have to do an online assessment test qualifying them for the course. This will be administered prior to the start of the summer camps.
