B1+ English Conversation Online

Improve your speaking skills – from home! Build confidence and fluency in English through lively, interactive online classes designed to get you talking. This intermediate course uses engaging, real-world materials such as videos, photographs, interviews and articles as a springboard for meaningful speaking practice and discussion.

The focus of the course is spoken English. You will actively use English in discussions, pair work and group conversations every week. Rather than simply working with texts, you will respond to ideas, share opinions, and develop your ability to speak more fluently and confidently in English. Your teacher is also on hand to give you individual feedback on your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation to help you improve accuracy as well as fluency.

We will discuss some of the following topics:

• Different cultures and identity


• Entertainment


• Nature


• Opportunities
