General English Courses

General English classes are designed to teach students the different skills they will need in learning English. The methods used by our certified and experienced teachers emphasize a student centered, communicative approach to language learning, which allow the students to benefit from our courses.

AMIDEAST is launching, at the beginning of the fall term, a new program based on the internet called AMIDEAST English Campus. This Program is an online learning environment designed to extend boundaries of the classroom and to remove restrictions on students’ time and place of study. Students will get an ID number and a password on the first day of class, and that will allow them to have access to more than 2000 online resources in different skills; they will also be assigned homework by their teachers.
