General English refers to the study and use of the English language in a general sense, as opposed to specific or specialized contexts. It focuses on developing a general proficiency in the language, including the ability to understand and communicate in a variety of everyday situations.

In general English courses, students typically work on developing their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. They learn and practice grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in context, and develop strategies for effective communication. They also usually practice conversation and discussion, as well as reading and writing in various formats, such as emails, letters, reports, and articles.

The goal of general English is to help students achieve a level of fluency and confidence in their use of the language, so they can communicate effectively in a variety of settings and for different purposes.

It also provides a foundation for more specialize or professional use of the language in the future, such as business English, academic English, or legal English.
