Course overview
Course description
In this beginner’s course, learners will develop the confidence to interact with everyday topics like travel, health and where they live. We will focus on exchanging basic information such as asking for directions and giving your name and address to others, as well as vocabulary that is specific to education and employment-based settings.
We will practise short conversations and listening for information to help you develop the skills and confidence to talk to others, go to appointments, join groups and better explore and take part in the local community.
The course is a great opportunity to mix with others and develop your English together. The course is open to varied abilities, so skills can be shared within the group.
