5 Things You Gain from a St Giles International English Course

Learning English abroad is a fantastic opportunity! See the benefits of studying an English course with St Giles below.

Fluency in English

Learning English in an English-speaking country allows you to accelerate your progress as you are constantly practicing through real life experience. You don’t just use English in the classroom; you also use it when ordering food, when asking for directions, and when speaking to your fellow students. This is called immersion, and is one of the best ways to improve your fluency in a short period of time.

We teach real-world examples and situations such as talking about a book, ordering food, and writing emails, which makes it much easier to apply your new English skills in the real world.

Confidence

Travelling to a new country to learn a new language can be scary, which is why it is such a huge confidence boost when you finally do it! We aim to make you feel confident in your English and your general abilities to learn new things and take on new challenges.
