If you would like to improve your real-life English skills, a General English course at BC is the perfect step.

Our General English courses will help you develop language skills for everyday life situations. We will help you develop the confidence to live, travel or work in Australia. You will graduate with real-world English skills you can use anywhere.

Courses are built around the three ‘building blocks’ of the language, which are grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation (micro skills) and four functional (macro) skills, which are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The course will focus on:

• building fluency and accuracy in spoken English
• expanding your vocabulary
• understanding native and non-native English speakers
• developing skills and confidence to use English outside the classroom

General English courses also provide the necessary foundation for our English for Academic Purposes courses if students enter at a lower level.

There are four levels offered under General English:
