Description: Make maximum progress during your stay abroad. Highly recommended for students who need to learn a language as quickly as possible for academic or professional reasons. Our highly structured syllabus, comprised of 32 morning and/or afternoon lessons a week (total tuition time of 21 hours and 20 minutes), will have you speaking and writing with confidence in the least amount of time. Our Intensive Course offers the maximum number of Special Interest Lessons, to ensure you successfully achieve your goals while studying abroad.
Taught both in class and online, you can take SPIN Lessons focused on language skills, professional development, exam or university preparation or culture and arts. Why is EF Intensive our most popular course? Because not only do you maximise the amount that your language skills improve, you also gain valuable time to practise with fellow students. This extra interaction enables you to communicate in a natural way, faster than on other courses, and in the process form lasting friendships.
How many weeks should students enrol for an EF Intensive Course? The longer you study, the more you will improve, guaranteed. That’s why students seeking advanced language skills enrol for a minimum of 3 to 6 weeks, allowing them to improve faster. A 6-week course allows most students to advance one full EF level of ability, and many intensive students choose to achieve greater fluency with courses of 3 months or more.
