Adult English Language
Our courses are designed to help you develop personal, social, professional and academic acumen. We always emphasise the importance of autonomy and our course encourages students to take responsibility for their own progress and be active in working to develop their English. Our dynamic project based learning environment involves collaborative learning, creative problem solving and critical thinking as well as working on effective communication.
The Adult English Language Course is divided into three stages according to the English language level concluding in the relevant level of the Integrated Skills Exam (ISE) set by Trinity College London. The ISE consists of two independent exam modules: Reading & Writing and Speaking & Listening.
These courses equip students with the 21st century skills and language knowledge needed to succeed through English, personally and socially (A2 - B1), professionally (B1 - B2) and academically (B2 - C1).

Course: Stage 3 - Foundation for Study through English
“Future Learning is a school completely unlike anything I've ever known. It may seem cliché, however, it is the truth. Mainly, the teaching methodology trains a student through experiences away from books and conventional approaches. And believe me, it works very naturally.

Course: Stage 2 - English for Professional Communication
Future Learning is a distinct school, preparation, caring and planning classes are visible. I fell in love with the project's work, I was able to learn, challenge myself, and enjoyed the process at the same time. Learning a language is an individual process, however, when you are at a school where all staff is concerned about teaching it is motivating! I wasn't a number, they saw that I was there to fulfill my dream of learning English, is that kind of respect they offer to any student. That was crucial for me. I'm sure Future Learning was the right choice.”

Course: Stage 2 - English for Professional Communication
“My experience at Future Learning was incredible, I believe that technology is a great tool to use between teachers and students, mainly because my old school was very weak and did not care about the development of each student. FL made me happy the most when we were in the communicative and dynamic classes every day and taking a test every week to explore and develop our reading, interpretation, listening and writing. This helped me a lot in the process, I had very happy moments with the other students celebrating birthdays and projects.”
