What is a language class?

Language classes focus on the improvement of academic English, mainly for students who have obtained the school offer and met the academic requirements but have not yet met the language requirements. After passing the language course exam, you can enter the main course of the school without taking IELTS.

The school will divide the length of language classes according to your IELTS score. If the IELTS foundation is weak, you can choose 20-week, 30-week or even 40-week language classes.

Students who have a gap of 0.5/ 1 with the IELTS score required by the school can choose short-term language classes, with a general duration of 4 weeks 14 weeks.

English language classes began to accept applications as early as June 5438+ 10. In April, short-term language classes in many schools were closed or full, so those who have plans to attend language classes should start preparing now.

Language course fee

The cost of language classes is related to the length of language classes. Take the University of Leeds as an example. How much is the tuition for the language class from July 6th to September 10 this year? 4,250 yuan (about 38,000 RMB), language class 1 1 from August 3 to September 6 this year. How much is the tuition? 2,550 (about 23,000 RMB).

How much is the tuition for the six-week language course in Bristol University this year? 2700 yuan (about 24000 RMB), 14 week language class tuition? 5700 yuan (about 43,000 yuan).

It can be seen that the tuition fee for a six-week language class is generally more than 20,000 RMB, and the living expenses of 20,000 RMB add up to 40,000-50,000 RMB.

There is also a failure rate in language classes!

Every school has a language test after the language class. Basically, as long as you can enroll in the language courses of this school and study hard on the courses, there is no problem in passing the final exam.

However, it should be understood that the examination of language classes is not a formality, and the passing rate of language classes is not 100% in most cases.

For example, in Southampton University, 90%-95% of the students pass the language class every year, which means that 5%- 10% of the students are brushed off:

95% of the students in 20 18 language class of king's college London passed, and the failure rate was 5%;
