English Courses at SEDA

Course Structure

Our full-time students attend class for 16 hours per week over four days. Each class is divided into two parts, separated by a break. Classes take place in the morning and afternoon. Morning classes take place from Monday to Thursday from 9.00 to 1.00 and afternoon classes take place from Monday to Thursday from 2.00 to 6.00. Classes have a 15 minute break in the middle. Teachers change level between the first and second classes in each session, i.e. each class has two teachers.

SEDA’s desired student/ teacher ratio is 1:12. All classes have a maximum of 15 students. This allows teachers to provide a high quality communicative class and to become familiar with student needs and requirements within their particular level.

In class, teachers vary between a main course book and supplementary materials. In the first half of every class students follow a course book. All students must buy the book for their course.

The second half of every class has a skills focus, and can also include activities, games, long-term cultural/ historical projects, debates, business skills, drama and excursions. The goal in these classes is to improve fluency and confidence, as well as specific business skills.
SEDA currently runs general English courses at Beginner, Elementary, Pre Intermediate and Intermediate levels, and English for business courses at Intermediate, Upper Intermediate and Advanced levels. Our general English courses are accredited by City & Guilds and ACELS. English for business courses are accredited by EDI/LCCI.
Later this year we will be opening new IELTS and Cambridge First Certificate Courses.
