English4you2 language courses

In this day and age, English is internationally the most used language and needed in many different contexts. It is an absolute must on today’s labour market, for doing business in an ever globalizing economy as well as vital when traveling around the world. Lacking English skills often results in difficulties finding employment, communicating with (potential) business partners and interacting with people abroad. To remedy this we offer courses in small groups, right in the centre of Maastricht.

Level descriptions

Here is an overview of the different levels we offer at our language centre in Maastricht. For all of these courses we will be using the Cambridge Objective method. This method is developed as a preparation for Cambridge English proficiency tests, but also suitable for general English learning. Even though the courses are not meant as a preparation for these tests, it does have the advantage that you know what is expected of you in case you would like to try and obtain an internationally recognized certificate.

Fast Beginners (from A0 to A2)

Since most of us have picked up some English from t.v. or hearing other people speak, true beginners are quite rare. This is why the course will rather quickly cover the basics for level A1 and then move on to level A2. The course will cover the basics in English that you need for day to day communication, like talking about yourself and your family, going to a shop or a restaurant and talking about your work experience or your last holiday.

Intermediate (from A2 to B1)

While maintaining its main focus on speech, this course concentrates on broadening all skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking, while revising and deepening more advanced English grammar. Topics include urban life, culture and art, the workplace, festivals and leisure time. You will be writing personal and official letters and e-mails, describing images and situations and practicing everyday forms of communication. We will also dive a bit deeper into the grammar, discussing topics like the present perfect, present perfect continuous, future continuous, conjunctions and the conditional.

Upper-Intermediate (from B1 to B2)

By the end of this course you should be able to converse about a wide variety of topics, including more complex and abstract ones, in a fluent and spontaneous manner. You also be able to use all the different tenses correctly and should be able to produce a detailed and well written text on a wide arrange of subjects. You should be able to perform all tasks at work in English without too much problem, like meetings or negotiations, or have lively discussions with other English speakers.

Advanced (from B2 to C1)

This is a very high level of English, nearing that of a native speaker. This means you should be able to conduct your daily business in English without feeling a significant hindrance. The course will focus on writing skills, but also expressing complex ideas in an efficient en nuanced manner and developing a more advanced vocabulary. During the course we will be covering topics like career paths, inventions, social change and language development, as well as revise some of the most challenging grammar issues like the different conditionals, modals and the correct use of all the different tenses in English.

Special program: presentations and meetings

Even when you have a good level of English (B1 and up), doing presentations or participating in meetings can still present you with a lot of challenges. For this purpose we offer a special and unique course, focusing on public speaking, how to develop a solid argument, give a clear presentation, and respond spontaneously to questions.

Tailor made courses

In addition to these standard courses we also offer private or semi-private lessons.

Lessons can also be given at your company or at your home. For any requests or specific questions please contact us.
