Why it matters
English outside the classroom
The fastest way to improve your English is to use it in real situations, not just in a lesson. Our social events are designed to give you natural speaking practice in an enjoyable, low-pressure environment.
You'll meet classmates from over 60 nationalities, build friendships that last beyond your course, and see a side of Dubai that most tourists never experience.
Events are optional and open to all current students. We announce upcoming activities in class and via our student group.
