English term or phrase: Academic Focus classes

Kontext:

Pauline Heidenlich

Schwerpunktunterricht/ Schwerpunktfächer/ vertiefender Unterricht

Explanation:

academic focus classes (akademische) Intensivkurse

Explanation:
Ich habe auch "Fokuskurs" gefunden, allerdings auf Seiten aus der Schweiz. Ich finde, dass "Intensivkurse" schon alles zum Ausdruck bringt. BTW - "ESL" = English as a Second Language"
