The emphasis will be on developing your conversation skills and improving your fluency and accuracy in a friendly and supportive atmosphere and through a variety of fun activities, games and roleplays. You will also consolidate and improve your understanding and knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, and your reading and writing skills.
