English Courses for Teens
English is one, or maybe THE most important language to learn, and especially in Hong Kong, with English being prominent and used in a big part of school curriculums, in both local and international schools.
At Hong Kong Institute of Languages (HKIL), we understand that success at school is a major key to any student’s future. With this in mind, we have specifically designed all our teen courses to assist your child to develop both their language skills and confidence. All our courses use digital tools and audio visual aids to maximise interaction and communication.
