There will be close interaction with your teachers at all times
We’ll set you assignments and projects to help you keep learning outside class

Kingslevel Language competence Description
TOEFL / IELTS equivalent
Common European Framework (see below)
Kings language level descriptors are
linked to the Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages:
Learning, Teaching, Assessment (CEFR).
The CEFR has been developed

of language learning.
It is designed to measure and compare
learning outcomes in a standard way,
and to allow recognition of language
qualifications across different countries.

“I found ClassMate very useful so far and I’ll carry
on using it when I go back to my country. I’m using
it to prepare for my exams and also to do some extra
exercises."
—AnnaritafromItaly
“ClassMate is very useful because you can practise
your writing, reading and listening in different ways
and also get help from your teacher. Also you can
get new information about College life and events
at Kings.”
—NataliafromRussia
“I think that ClassMate helps me to learn English
because, if I make mistakes, it tells me what is wrong.
The Flash Point lessons are also very useful.”
—UlarfromKazakhstan
