The classes are designed to improve accuracy and fluency, and students are given the chance to contribute ideas for course content.

Pronunciation: You will work on problem sounds in the English language. The class will focus on pronunciation in words, sentences and in longer passages. You will also practise using stress and intonation to help you develop a natural English accent.

If you have trouble with particular grammar structures, this course will give you further opportunities to practice them. Some of the structures focused on in the lower level course are: present simple, comparatives and superlatives and countable/uncountable nouns whilst higher levels look at unreal conditionals, reported speech and various verb patterns.
