Direct English is possibly Alexander’s greatest contribution to language teaching; combining an innovative training system with uniquely composed learning materials.
Unique to Direct English, our course materials are bilingual to ensure you are focused on learning English without having to struggle to understand what it is you are learning and why.

Each level of your course covers a wide range of learner resources to keep you interested and motivated. Developed exclusively by leading English language and education specialists, and designed for use within your local Direct English training center and at home – a new, upgraded edition of our corpus has just been released for 2012.
