Who joins this programme
Students preparing for an English-speaking destination who failed the IELTS Speaking module the first time. Working professionals from Nadiad and Anand who want to migrate but can't get past job interviews. Engineering and pharmacy graduates who studied technical English but never had to speak it conversationally.
We also see plenty of students whose written English is fine — they're at IELTS 6.5 in Reading and Writing — but Speaking sticks at 5.0 to 5.5. The gap is conversation practice, not vocabulary.
CEFR levels and what each means
A1 (Beginner): can introduce yourself, basic shopping, very limited. A2 (Elementary): simple direct exchanges, familiar topics. B1 (Intermediate): can deal with most situations on travel, can describe experiences. B2 (Upper-Intermediate): can interact with native speakers without strain, technical discussions in your field.
C1 (Advanced) and C2 (Proficiency): near-native and native fluency. For most Charotar students going abroad, B2 is the realistic and sufficient target. Most universities and visa officers function at B2-equivalent expectation.
Diagnostic in week one places you at A2, B1 or B2. Programme length scales accordingly — A2 to B2 takes roughly 12 weeks, B1 to B2 takes 6 to 8 weeks.
Real situations we role-play
University: registering for courses, asking a professor to clarify, talking in a tutorial group, ordering food in the campus canteen, asking the international students office about your visa status.
Visa interview: SDS officer asking why this college, why this program, why now. GTE asking about ties back home, financial sources, post-study plans.
Daily life abroad: hostel check-in, opening a bank account, calling a landlord about a leak, GP appointment, calling SIM provider for activation, asking for a refund at a store.
Work and internships: explaining your project at a campus interview, video call with a recruiter, asking a manager for clarification without sounding rude.
Sample 8-week progression (B1 to B2)
Week 1: Diagnostic, accent neutralisation basics (we don't try to give you a British accent — we just remove the heavy mother-tongue interference). Week 2: Self-introduction in 30 seconds and 2 minutes, talking about your education and family.
Week 3-4: Hypotheticals (would, could, should), giving opinions, agreeing and disagreeing politely. Week 5: SDS / GTE / CAS mock interviews. Week 6: Daily-life situations — restaurants, transport, banking.
Week 7: Workplace English — phone manner, email register, video call etiquette. Week 8: Final assessment + targeted polishing of remaining weak spots.
What's included
Live group sessions 4 to 5 days a week, mock interview sessions with faculty, our internal Spoken English booklet (situational dialogue templates), weekly recorded speaking samples with feedback, post-programme phone-or-Zoom check-ins.
Not included: any English exam fee (IELTS, PTE, etc.) — Spoken English is conversation training, not exam prep, though it raises your IELTS Speaking band as a side effect.
