Content

These valuable and enjoyable classes draw on a wide range of topics (current affairs, communication for work skills, general discussion) to enhance your conversation and pronunciation skills in a stimulating way.

Your teacher will guide you through the many ways in which you can express your ideas, thoughts and feelings about the topics raised, with particular attention paid to 'register' and situational language i.e. the tailoring of your spoken language to meet the needs of different formal and informal situations.

Methodology

Effective combination of Interactive Communicative Approach (especially in afternoon speaking classes) and Structural Approach.

Summary

An excellent combination course designed for people looking to increase all-round language skills with special focus on speaking and pronunciation skills. You will be encouraged to make a great deal of effort to contribute in these classes, and to respond to both your teacher and to the other students in English in an increasingly confident and informed manner.
