Learning a language in a classroom is only part of your education.
You must take every opportunity to improve your ability to communicate in English.
A mix of learning methods and outcomes is important and will improve your capability to communicate in English.
You can learn to read, write, speak and listen in a classroom with other students and a teacher face to face, online in a virtual classroom with other students, or online by yourself.
Use your phone, radio and the Internet to improve your skills. Use puzzle books, word games and crosswords to learn new vocabulary. Read the news online. Go to the library where it is free to borrow books and use the computers.
Remember, while it is the responsibility of the teacher to teach, it is your responsibility to learn. If you want to learn to communicate in English, then you must attend lessons both frequently and regularly. Acquiring any skill requires effort and discipline. None of the providers want your money but they do want you to be a serious and dedicated student.
If you need to learn English to be accepted on a university degree or college course, please speak to your teaching provider.
Certificates of aptitude and, or attendance are available from these providers.
