Functional Skills Qualification in English (Level 2)

Study English in a dynamic way by practising your listening and comprehension skills with music and videos. Discuss issues you care about with the class and feel more confident with public speaking. Watch your vocabulary expand as you read different types of texts (and feel free to hint to your tutor which ones you prefer!). Improve your grammar and spelling with activities made for adults, not kids.
