English Language (3 Cycles)
Overview
English Language (3 Cycles) is CIS College’s core general English program, built for students who want to develop real, well rounded ability in the language rather than just pass a test. The program is delivered across three consecutive cycles of 48 hours each, so students build their skills step by step: reading comprehension and vocabulary, grammar accuracy, confident speaking, and clear writing all move forward together from one cycle to the next.
Each cycle costs 200 USD, plus a one time 20 USD charge for the course book. Classes run in CIS’s hybrid format, so students can attend in person at any CIS branch or join online, with the same instructor led experience either way. The course is designed for adults who want stronger English for work, study, or everyday communication, and the material is adjusted to match the level of the group.
