In addition to our existing Mini-Groups for intermediate to advanced level students, we\u00a0are now\u00a0introducing a course for pre-intermediate level students allowing them to benefit from the intensive, more tailored-made character\/structure of small group classes. Whilst the main focus of language teaching will be on General English, there will also be opportunities to cover aspects of Business English specifically requested by the students. The small group environment ensures students profit from more in-depth teacher feedback about their language learning and how to achieve their next language targets.<\/p>\n<p>Key Features of the course:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pre-intermediate level of English required<\/li>\n<li>20, 30, 40 lessons per week (check with individual schools for lesson options available)<\/li>\n<li>Participants: maximum 5<\/li>\n<li>Minimum age: 21<\/li>\n<li>1 lesson: 45 minutes (in the USA and Canada 50 minutes)<\/li>\n<li>Courses begin every Monday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The new Mini Group is available at our schools in\u00a0 <a title=\"LSI Auckland\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/new-zealand\/auckland\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Auckland<\/a>, <a title=\"LSI San Francisco \/ Berkeley\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/united-states\/san-franciscoberkeley\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Berkeley<\/a>, <a title=\"LSI Boston\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/united-states\/boston\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Boston<\/a>, <a title=\"LSI London Central\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/england\/london-central\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">London (central)\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0, <a title=\"LSI New York\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/united-states\/new-york\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York<\/a>, <a title=\"LSI San Diego\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/united-states\/san-diego\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Diego<\/a>, <a title=\"LSI Toronto\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/canada\/toronto\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toronto<\/a>\u00a0and <a title=\"LSI Vancouver\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lsi.edu\/en\/english\/canada\/vancouver\/school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vancouver<\/a>.
