Summary

Level:

This level is applied to a limited number of Language Centre courses as a bridge between Intermediate and Advanced 1. You will probably have completed over 200 hours of tuition or had some learning of the language in post-compulsory schooling at least AS level grades A & B or A2 level up to grade C or equivalent. While being able to express yourself reasonably well and quite accurately, some of the language spoken at native speaker speed still escapes you and feel the need for more intensive practice, both in speaking and in writing.

Main Objectives:

The course will focus on improving your fluency in a wide range of areas such as current affairs, popular culture, customs, social issues, technology. Emphasis will be placed on oral presentations, debates and exchange of views and ideas. Further development of grammatical structures and vocabulary will be integrated into the course activities.

Please read our Can-do Statements (link on the right of this page) to see the competences which you will be working towards and can achieve by the end of the year.

Teaching:

1 x 2 hour class per week plus some independent learning.
