English for Secondary School Preparation (ESSP)

The English for Secondary School Preparation course is ideal for students planning to enter an Australian High School. There are two levels offered in the ESSP program, which is based on a 20-week program.  Classes focus on strengthening practical communication skills and skills for academic study, which are presented in weekly theme-based lessons.   The lesson themes provide students with the vocabulary necessary to engage in relevant and current conversation.  During the week students practice the four macro skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing as well as daily grammar sessions which are necessary to establish the strong foundations for academic writing. The program also includes a range of exciting and informative incursions, excursions and dynamic English sessions.   Ozford not only provides every student with academic support but also nurtures students’ well-being. Ozford aims to provide an environment that is supportive and safe, empowering students to learn willingly. Ozford  English Language Centre is one of the preferred language centres for many public and private schools throughout Melbourne.
