English-speaking countries such as the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand require a high level of English skills before they approve work and study visas for international students. However, most international students do not know what level they are at and struggle to find appropriate courses to meet their learning needs.

“Studying English online, whether with a live tutor or a text-based programme, is extremely difficult,” says Zoe Smith, Marketing Officer for Loxdale English Centre in Brighton, England. “While some students have success with online programmes, most find it difficult to find the right course. The main problem is that students don't know their current level of English proficiency.”

Loxdale English Centre has a new website where students can now access a link to test their English level. This is a great help in deciding on which course to choose and how best to improve their English skills. Students can complete the online test in a matter of minutes to get a basic idea of their current level. Loxdale English Centre can then advise on the best way forward.

“While we are aware there are many ways to learn English, after many years of helping international students master this global language, we still believe the most effective way is immersive learning,” says Smith. “Immersive learning involves being completely surrounded by the language and culture to best learn to understand and use English correctly.”

Loxdale English Centre tests the English level of all new students on their very first day to ensure they are placed in the correct level of class to best meet their learning needs. Intensive but enjoyable English lessons take place in small classes where students learn to master the language across the range of subjects and contexts that will be required for further study and work opportunities.

“Out of the summer we offer classes for pre-intermediate, intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced and proficiency students, so you can always be confident that you will be placed in a class that is matched to your ability,” says Smith. “We are confident you will find that being in the correct class will maximise your potential and speed up your English learning process.”

Loxdale English Centre offers residential or homestay accommodation options for students during their time at Loxdale. Course dates out of the summer offer flexible options for multiple modules to be taken, with students receiving assistance in choosing the right modules for their interests and ambitions. There is a course price calculator to plan for the costs of learning English effectively.

“All learning at Loxdale English Centre is immersive and comprehensive, offering the best opportunities to master the language in the shortest time,” says Smith. “While it does take time to master a language, we believe it can be done at any age and so we offer courses for a range of ages and interests, both in and out of the summer holiday season.”

Loxdale English Centre prides itself on being the ideal location for international students to improve their study and career options around the world. Learning English opens doors and Loxdale English Centre helps students unlock their potential to travel, study and work anywhere English is required, whether this is an English-speaking country or any university course requiring English proficiency.
