The School of English at Hastings
College boasts highly qualified tutors, friendly and helpful staff,
convenient lecture rooms equipped with audio and video players, a
wonderful atmosphere. The students have access to the internet and
to the language centre where they can study on their own after
classes. Beautiful location at the seaside, vast gardens, sporting
facilities and other attractions certainly will not allow the
students who choose Hastings as the place to study English to be
bored.
 HASTINGS
This town, known above all from history lessons, lies on the south
coast of Great Britain. It has a direct train connection with a nearby
Brighton and London. Today it is a popular seaside resort with a
moderate climate. The town centre houses many bars, pubs, cinemas and
discos. It is a town large enough to be interesting and small enough
to allow for peace and quiet.
About the
courses
Students are placed in groups according to
their level of proficiency. They may choose to learn in the mornings
or in the afternoons. The lessons are conducted in an interesting
way and allow for developing all four language skills: speaking,
writing, reading and listening. The courses teach the students new
vocabulary and help them to improve the accent. Individual problems can
be dealt with by the student himself in the language centre after
classes or with the help of a teacher. The lecturers are open to the
group's suggestions and prepare the classes in such a way that they
fulfil the students' expectations. Often the course serves as a
preparation for further studying at Hastings College or Hastings
University.
ACCOMMODATION
OPTIONS
The students usually live with host families
where board - breakfast and dinner - is provided. All families
live in the vicinity of the school or the city centre and are
regularly visited by the school's representative, which guarantees
high standards of the accommodation. Hastings College also offers
help with finding a flat to rent and by obtaining a visa,
medical services or any other issues connected with the stay at
Hastings College.
LEISURE PROGRAMME
The
participants of English courses in Hastings may take part in events
whose aim is to integrate the learners. Sometimes these are free of
charge, in other cases they are offered at a minimum possible price. A
wide choice allows everybody to find something that would suit
them. Apart from events such as barbecues, film evenings, tennis,
volleyball and other sports, karaoke or the day of international
cuisine, trips to Amsterdam, Paris, Disneyland and Scotland are
organized.
ENGLISH COURSES
The course improves speaking, reading, writing
and listening skills and widens the vocabulary range. On completion of
the course the student exhibits greater knowledge of English and uses
it more fluently. When one enrols for an appropriate level,
the course may end in taking a Cambridge examination. The course is
made up of 15 to 21 hours a week. The cost of the textbook is included
in the price of the course.
