 Bowden Hall College, founded in 1929, is a private adult education establishment with over 77 years’ unrivalled experience of home training methods. Because of many requests from people who do not wish to go to personal classes or seminars, and because the subject lends itself ideally to individual study at home, The New Course in Practical English is now offered by post to anyone who wishes to become a more effective speaker, conversationalist and writer.My education was limited. Is the course too difficult for me?
Certainly not! You will find The New Course in Practical English easy to understand because of its new, practical methods. It begins at the beginning - nothing is taken for granted. Each topic is developed step-by-step. The number of self-correcting exercises is sufficient to enable you to master the fundamentals of good English without tedious memorising of rules. You ‘learn by doing’. The course is designed so that busy people can gain a command of good English quickly and enjoyably.  I am over fifty years old. Will the course still help me?Very definitely the course will help you. Many tests have shown that older people can learn as much as or even more than younger persons. When you are older, learning is sometimes just a little slower, but you learn just as much and remember it longer. Hundreds of men and women, some more than seventy years of age, have greatly benefited by The New Course in Practical English. You can, too! Is there any time limit?
No! On enrolment, the course is yours to keep, and can be consulted whenever you like. You can set your own pace, study when you wish. In as little time as 15 minutes a day you can get quick results and make steady progress. Some men and women complete the course in a few weeks. Others require from a few months to a year of spare-time study. As there are no classes, you are neither rushed nor held back by other students. And remember, you don’t wait until the end of the course to enjoy its rewards. The study of good English pays off from the very first day! Only if you wish. You are recommended, but not obliged, to complete the self-test questions for each lesson. You are also free to submit your personal speaking or writing problems for sympathetic analysis by your personal tutor. But there are no examinations to worry you. How can your personal tutorial service help me?
You are entitled for 24 months to full, frank, and confidential correspondence with expert graduate tutors, who are ever ready to advise on specific, personal applications of the course and to solve any problems that may arise in connection with your studies. This correspondence is patient, painstaking and thorough. And it can be continued until both tutor and pupil are fully satisfied that all outstanding points have been properly resolved  English is not my first language. Will the course help me?The course will definitely enable you to speak and write better English – provided you now read English reasonably well. You do not need to read rapidly or to read difficult material; if you can read this web page or your daily English newspaper, you should be able to read, understand and benefit by this course. A great many students who have English as a second language have greatly improved their speaking and writing skills through our method. And you can do the same! No. The course is complete in itself and will give you a thorough grounding in good English. Extra personal help and advice are offered through our written Tutorial Service, which is included in the course fees. We recommend that you refer to an English dictionary during your studies.
