New UK Student Visitor Visa
On 1 September 2007 a new Student Visitor Visa for the UK will be introduced. This is an important and positive development but member centres, agents and students need to be aware of the consequences.
For students who need a visa to enter the UK (visa nationals), the new Student Visitor visa will:
- cost £63, the same as a visitor visa
- be issued normally for 6 months, even if students intend to take shorter courses
- not allow students to work
- not allow students to extend their stay in the UK beyond 6 months
- be issued only if students are enrolled at centres on the DfES Register
- need students to show they meet the visitor rules to enter the UK.

Most ESL students consider writing difficult and boring. Difficult because it’s hard for students to express their ideas with a limited knowledge of the language and boring because they have to write about uninteresting topics only to please the teacher and get a grade.
Have you ever thought why you write in your regular life? You write to answer emails, chat, take notes and make reports. So you always write with a purpose and have an audience in mind. Besides, you don’t concentrate on language but on the message you want to convey. Those are the things the class exercise is generally deprived of. To read the complete article click here.
