In general English Language is now considered as an essential medium of
communication in the education & business areas. This language has
brought the world together. In the modern world a good knowledge of
English offers enormous benefits. English is basically studied to gain
better employment opportunities and career advancement particularly in
English speaking countries.
There are different stages in learning English as a foreign language. WECL English courses are designed specifically for international
students who wish to come to UK or are already here for further studies
and better career prospects.

very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete
type. Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer

he/she knows and things he/she has. Can interact in a simple way
provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to
help.
