Protea College’s General English course develops students’ basic skills in English reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The course focuses on the skills that are needed to participate in a range of community contexts, such as giving basic personal information, understanding and following basic instructions, participating in basic conversations, and understanding and completing simple forms and other documents.
The course does not lead to an accredited outcome but aims to improve the general English skills of participants (reading, writing, listening, speaking) by an amount equivalent to 0.5 on the IELTS band scale per 12 weeks of study.
