English Language School in South Africa

Kurus English:
Kurus English is a premium language school in Cape Town, South Africa, providing rewarding opportunities for students to develop their competence in English as an international language. At Kurus English, we celebrate the energy, passion and ambience that is part of life, living and learning in Cape Town.

The idea of combining ‘English and Cultural Education’ was born of the growing need of people, still early in their careers, to learn and improve their English. One of the most effective ways to learn a language is to be immersed in the environments and cultures where it is spoken. Globalisation is played out in the workplace: emerging cultural differences need diversity awareness as a more defined social competence.

Kurus English intends to fill this niche by offering a language school that goes beyond mere standard methods of English teaching and learning; at Kurus English students are presented with opportunities relating to the social and cultural world which broaden their horizons and assist them in gaining new perspectives.

In this way, Cape Town partners our language learning approach and provides the cultural base for language learning opportunities.

Our English lessons are based on existing and internationally-respected teaching and learning materials, such as Oxford University Press’ Headway series. These courses are mediated and modelled by English native language teachers and provide the framework for the teaching and learning of English as an international language. In addition, we draw on authentic materials from local, Cape Town, South African, African-continental and global sources; these include, materials from books, newspapers, internet, etc. and provide unique and culturally-related content.
