General English Course

For learners looking to improve their day to day language skills, this program is the perfect choice.

ILC’s General English Course is designed to place students in real life scenarios and help them better their daily communication skills. We even offer extra social events that students can take part in after their classes or during the weekends.

With this particular course, we will focus on building the 4 key skills: Writing, Listening, Reading and Speaking

  • Building eloquence and fluency in verbal English.
  • Expanding students’ basic and daily vocabulary.
  • Paying close attention to both native English speakers and non-natives.
  • Helping students develop more confidence in their conversational English.

Regardless of proficiency levels, ILC caters to all students looking to undertake the General English Course. Upon arrival, students will be counselled and required to take a placement test so our teachers can get a basic idea of where you stand and how long you would need to study. Once all necessary details are collected, each student will be placed in a level that best suits their needs.

Your Learning End Result

Once students complete our General English Course, they will be able to converse more articulately in their daily lives. From communicating with coworkers to ordering food in an English-speaking country, communication will be much easier for students. ILC’s General English Course is also a perfect option for students looking to prepare for our Academic, Cambridge and IELTS English course.

Testimonial

I have had a fantastic experience here. When I came here I could not speak much English, but now with the help of the great teachers and staff, I can speak. I have learned a lot. I have enjoyed it here so much. I have met so many people from around the world. I would recommend this program to other students. The campus is nice and it is so close to Kuala Lumpur. Kajang is a great city as well.
