Improve your speaking and writing skills
This course is for you if you are already a competent user of English, but want to develop your speaking and writing skills further. You are on your way to the advanced level (C1), but not quite ready for it yet.

On this course, you improve your fluency and confidence when speaking English by discussing a variety of newspaper articles that focus on interesting current events. You will also watch YouTube clips connected to current events to improve your listening skills and to continue the discussions. Fun in-class collaborative exercises focus on increasing your vocabulary, fluency and confidence and your flexibility with the English language.

You improve your writing skills by focusing on aspects of the writing process such as more accurate use of grammar and punctuation, sentence structure, and essay organisation.
Two written assignments will be set and you will receive detailed constructive feedback from your teacher. We will also work on grammar as needed in order to further enhance both your speaking and writing skills.

When you complete the course, you will have improved your grammar and confidence when speaking English. Furthermore, you will have expanded your vocabulary and be able to converse about topics that are more complex.

Preparation time: approx. 1-2 hours per week + an extra 1-2 hours each time you submit a written assignment (twice during the course).
