How a class sounds

Hear it. Answer it. Keep it going.

Every class is built on turns of conversation — listening closely, answering, asking back and keeping the exchange moving. In a group of five to ten, you speak in every class.

  5. “Then let's go early on Friday — say, six?”

    Making a suggestion

Questions

ECSP, answered.

Who is ECSP for?+

Anyone who already knows the basics and wants to turn them into fluent conversation. Listening and speaking are at the core, with the grammar and vocabulary that support them — so you speak up with less hesitation.

How is it different from General English?+

General English builds all four skills — listening, speaking, reading and writing — for everyday life and work, three hours a day from A1. ECSP concentrates on listening and speaking, two hours a day from A2.

I am a complete beginner. Can I join?+

ECSP starts at A2, so you need the basics first. General English starts at A1 — take the free placement test and we will tell you where you fit.

Can I study part-time?+

Yes, depending on group size. Full-time is two hours a day, Monday to Friday; part-time schedules and intake days are set by the size of the group.

What time are the classes?+

Choose one session, Monday to Friday: mornings 9:00 am – 11:00 am or afternoons 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Each level is one month — 20 class days, two hours a day.

How big are the classes?+

Five to ten students per group, so everyone gets plenty of speaking time.

Do I need a placement test first?+

Yes, and it is free. About 25 minutes online, then a one-to-one consultation finds the right level.

What is included?+

Printed course materials, and an hour of guided independent learning each day on top of the two hours of class.

Can I study online?+

No — ECSP is face-to-face, at our centre in Bukit Bintang.

What does ECSP cost?+

Ask us and we will quote your route. Each level runs one month and there are six, but you start where the placement test puts you — so most students pay for fewer than six.
