Learn English in London

The desire to learn English has never been higher. The importance of English around the planet as the language of international business, trade and commerce and also as a required qualification in higher education and university study means that the popularity and prominence of studying English are at an all-time high.

One outcome of this global demand for English has been the worldwide English language teaching (ELT) industry. There are hundreds of EFL schools (English as a foreign language) in practically every country where you can learn English, no matter where you come from. However, in the current international circumstances of a focus on value-for-money and a necessity for rapid and effective English learning, it is vital that when you make an expensive decision such as investing in your education or career, then it must be the correct choice, so that your valuable financial outlay is not wasted.

A good starting point is to check the school’s accreditations to recognised organisations. At SGI we have been teaching students from all over the world to learn English  for over 50 years and you can be assured that we have maintained the highest level of teaching as we always pass the rigorous inspections by ISI and The British Council. These are the most important accreditations applicable to English language schools and we are therefore ratified as having a ‘Highly Trusted Status’ granted by the British Government. The inspectors for these organisations are extremely experienced ELT professionals, but so are the SGI teachers.

We are lucky to have some of the most progressive, motivated and caring English teachers that you can find. All are native English speakers and hold higher TEFL qualifications, of course. However, many are also leaders in the world of teacher-training and travel to international teaching conferences to give presentations on best-practice pedagogical methods. English lessons at SGI are filled with interesting and creative activities to bring out the best communication in every type of learner. Importantly, new and relevant language and useful grammar is recycled during your course, so that you are constantly learning without really feeling like you are undergoing laborious study. So, it is easy to see that the SGI students truly receive the highest possible standard of education when they come to London to learn English and become part of the SGI family of happy, confident English speakers.
