Tuition Options

African, Asian and European Languages - Tuition Options

    • Public courses are offered at Wits Language School in a group setting. Students come from a variety of backgrounds with a shared interest in learning a new language. These courses are offered five times a year:
        • Intake 1: February to May
        • Intake 2: April to June
        • Intake 3: May to August
        • Intake 4: July to October
        • Intake 5: September to November
    • Corporate courses are aimed at organisations and companies in the private and public sector that need to train staff in specific languages and often for specific needs. These courses are offered at the clients’ premises or at Wits Language School. Corporate courses are offered on a demand basis. (see Corporate Language Solutions for more information)
    • Small groups are arranged for the general public or for corporate clients when regular group classes cannot be arranged. These are particularly suitable for students at higher levels. (see structure of our language courses).
    • Private tuition classes can be arranged for students unable to join regular public or corporate classes or who have specific language needs not easily accommodated in other teaching settings.

Language Courses

African, Asian and European Languages – Language Courses

Our languages are in 3 broad groups:

    • European Languages – we offer courses in Italian, French, German, Greek, Spanish and Portuguese.
    • Asian and Middle-Eastern Languages – we offer courses in Arabic, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese.
    • South African Languages – we offer courses in Afrikaans, IsiZulu and Sesotho. You can also learn South African Sign Language, which we do in collaboration with the Wits Centre for Deaf Studies.

Course Structure

African, Asian and European Languages  – Course Structure

All of the courses offered in the African, Asian and European Language section are at three levels of tuition:
    • Level 1 (Beginner);
    • Level 2 (Elementary) and
    • Level 3 (Pre-Intermediate).

Each Level lasts around six months, with ninety-six hours of tuition*. To make it more convenient for you we have split the levels into modules of 3 months each (Module A and Module B). Modules break up the content into manageable chunks and give you more flexibility. You can work through the Modules and Levels at your own pace and based on your available time. At the end of Module A you will receive a Certificate of Attendance. At the end of Module B you will complete written and oral tests, and will be awarded a Certificate of Competence.

* Courses are run at reduced contact hours when a public class cannot go ahead. This requires all the students’ agreement and an understanding that you need to supplement your learning through additional self-study and independent work in the Wits Language School lab. Semi-private classes are only run when public classes of 8 or more students can’t be offered.
