The Benefits of an Adult-Only English Language School

IH Manchester has recently become an exclusively 18 years + adult school and so we wanted to set out the reasons why this change will be of benefit to our adult clients.

Learning English is an important skill that can open many doors in life. Whether you want to get a better job, study abroad, or travel, knowing English can help you achieve your goals.

Our adult-only English language school offers a focused, supportive environment for adults who want to improve their English skills. The lessons are designed to suit adult learners and offer practical content that you can use in your everyday life. Whether you want to advance your career, travel, or just learn something new, our adult-only English school can help you reach your goals in a comfortable and confident way.

A Curriculum for Adults

Adults learn in a different way from children or teenagers. Our teachers understand this and create lessons that are more suitable for adults. For example, you might learn business English, English for travel, or even how to negotiate in English. This makes the lessons more practical and useful in real-life situations. The topics discussed in class are more relevant to adult students and their experiences. This makes lessons interesting and helps you learn English in a way that connects to your real-life situations.

Adult Activities & Social Program

The timetable for social events and activities is designed exclusively for adults, with fun and relaxing experiences that suit more mature interests. Each week has different activities, like walking tours around Manchester, in school networking events, cinema trips, bowling, escape rooms, restaurant nights, beer tasting and language and cultural exchange events.u00a0 We want to give students a mix of adventure and culture and the opportunity to relax and socialise. The events are all planned for adults, without any activities for teenagers or children, making it a perfect choice for a more relaxed and enjoyable time.

A Focused Learning Environment

Adult-only schools are designed for people who have a similar frame of mind. This means the class is focused, with students who are all serious about learning. Unlike schools with younger students, adult learners are often more motivated because they are learning for personal or professional reasons. This creates a more serious and productive classroom atmosphere.

Good for Networking

Students will meet other people, from all over the world, who have similar goals. This is a great chance to make connections for your career or personal life. Whether you are looking to make new friends or meet potential business contacts, being in class with other adults can help you build a strong network.

A Comfortable Learning Space

Some adults feel nervous about returning to school after many years. In an adult-only English school, you will be in a comfortable space with other adults. This helps reduce the feeling of being judged or out of place. You can feel more relaxed when asking questions or practising speaking English, which helps you learn faster. And remember, all IH Manchester staff are here to help and support you.

A Sense of Achievement

Learning English can be difficult, especially for adults who are learning a new language for the first time. However, improving your English skills can be very rewarding. At our adult-only school, you will be encouraged to keep going, and as you improve, you will gain more confidence. Being able to speak and understand English will give you a feeling of satisfaction and achievement and open up new opportunities for your career and personal life.
