What can you expect from EFL-20?
Ages 18+ | Morning lessons of general English
EFL-20 is a mornings-only general English course, with 20 lessons (15 hours) per week.
Classes are available for all levels of English and you will be tested in advance and placed in a class at the appropriate level.
The content of the morning classes differs according to the level, interests and age of the students in each class. However, they all include the study of:
- Grammar
- Speaking
- Listening
- Pronunciation
- Writing skills
- Reading comprehension
The course focuses on the use of English in normal everyday situations.

Teachers are available in tutorials after class hours, for discussion of progress, evaluation of English language learning strengths and weaknesses, and to give advice with self-study. Teachers are there to ensure that you are satisfied with all academic aspects of your course and are progressing well.
Morning lessons are attended by all Studio’s Intensive English Course students, but the morning-only EFL-20 option is available specifically to ages 18+ as under 18’s must also attend afternoon classes.
Notes for students
- As under 18’s must be in class in the mornings and afternoons, they may not book the EFL-20 course. However, all students aged 16+ attend the same morning classes which are mixed according to English level not according to course type. Therefore it is normal for ages 16 or 17 to join classes with ages 18+ who are studying on EFL-20.
What do our English lessons involve?
Our Teaching
Studio Cambridge English courses are designed to be flexible to allow you a choice on when to start and finish your English studies. Teachers follow a set syllabus and within this they plan a week’s work (called a Weekly Work Scheme) based on your level and needs.
With this flexibility in mind, Studio Cambridge teachers choose materials from a range of the latest text books and websites. Materials are given to you in the form of photocopies and visual presentations, for you to order for reference in your files.
Authentic materials
All classrooms have Wi-Fi, internet, data projectors and speakers. Teachers often design their own materials based on video clippings, websites, newspaper or magazine articles, TV programmes and ongoing events in Cambridge. Computers and Wi-Fi are available to all our students for language exercises, personal study and internet research in our dedicated Learning Centre.
Teachers will occasionally give lessons which do not use materials but stem from the language that you and your classmates produce.
Methodology
We do not limit ourselves to one simple methodology as different students respond to different teaching techniques.

Registration Fee
A registration fee is required for all intensive English courses.
The amount of the Registration fee depends on your age on the day you start your course:
Ages 18+ £80.00
Ages 16 & 17 £170.00
The reason for this difference is the additional welfare measures we have in place for students who are under 18 years of age. This is because these students are not legally adults according to UK law.
