Overview
General English (GE) is sometimes called ‘English for General Purposes’. Most students who come to Australia to study English for the first time will take the GE course.
If you have a student visa, then you must study 20 hours each week. It is also important that you do some extra study. We recommend that you spend another 10-15 hours per week doing homework and extra study.
General English prepares you for the kind of English you need in everyday real-life situations. Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.
All these are important for you to communicate more easily on a wide range of topics.
