English Courses for Adults

Improve your career prospects by studying English at Shane Schools and enjoy the benefits of face-to-face teaching.

General English conversation is a part of each lesson and our teachers adapt English texts to suit their students’ needs. All classroom tasks are designed to be broadly communicative with an accompanying syllabus focusing on grammar and vocabulary. This syllabus also teaches the correct pronunciation, stress, and intonation.

While we stress a communicative approach, equal emphasis is given to all four English language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Students achieve a practical understanding and confidence in using the underlying grammatical structures. Students have the chance to freely use the target language in real, communicative situations on engaging topics.

English conversations are topic based and are used to complement book-work. Conversations range from the very guided (low-level students) to freer and less structured (higher levels). Teachers will adapt each English lesson to the levels and capabilities of the students.

Teachers use tried-and-tested teaching methodologies in which teachers act as facilitators and co-communicators. These communication patterns allow students to maximise speaking opportunities which helps them to improve their confidence, accuracy, fluency, and pronunciation.

Authentic English materials such as newspaper and magazine articles are also integrated in order to improve reading and writing. Special attention is paid to content and meaning.

Whether you are preparing for a standardised international English exam (such as IELTS), would like to learn English for a specific purpose (such as business English), or you just want to improve your conversation skills, we have an English course for you!

Our English courses for adults emphasise the practice of English in realistic contexts and provide students with a solid language foundation and ample opportunities for speaking.

Private English Courses

Having a Shane English teacher all to yourself provides many advantages.

Private English Lessons are usually taught one-on-one, but we allow up to three students in a private class. Typical English lessons consist of family members, work colleagues, or friends. The teacher and student(s) often enjoy a much closer relationship than is possible in larger English classes.

These English classes are especially useful for students who wish to progress at their own pace, rather than at the rate of others in group English classes. A much wider variety of materials can be tailored for each individual student. For example, students can choose to prepare for English exams like IELTS, TOEIC, TOEFL, or the Cambridge YLE, or may just want to focus on one aspect of their English, such as conversation.  

The flexibility of these private English lessons means that they are a great way to focus on specific English problems students may have, which makes them extremely useful for those who want to do as much as possible in a short amount of time.
