Contents, comment
-
Through various activities in groups and pairs (depending on the size of the class) you will increase confidence in using your spoken English as well as expand your active vocabulary. With this course you get to speak about what you want to speak about. Themes and topics relevant to educated discourse will be sourced from the participants and built into the curriculum of the course - thus tailoring the course to fit the participants’ needs. You will also get some input on presentations and English terms relating to the features of academic argument.
This course is intended for participants at the B2 level and higher who want to improve their speaking skills in the context of academically relevant topics, including expressing views, giving evidence, as well as criticising and defending claims.
The focus of the course is on communication, discussion and vocabulary.
