INTO Essential English

INTO Essential English is designed to improve students’ general English language proficiency for use in everyday situations. Students will have the opportunity to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence in key areas, including the four main skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as focusing on presentation skills and independent study. The course is suitable for students of all levels from Elementary to Advanced, with students grouped according to language level.

Students can enrol on the Essential English course throughout the calendar year. With multiple entry points and different durations of study, the programme has the flexibility to cater for students at different language levels. To get maximum benefit, students are strongly advised to enrol on their English language course at the beginning of the term in September, January, April or June, and to study for a minimum of one term.

Students are internally tested at the end of each term, giving the student a clear indication oftheir current level and rate of progression. It also allows for students to progress onto other INTO Newcastle University programmes.
