Study English online from the comfort of your own home or officeThis online course is designed to help you become more fluent by practicing real conversations in a friendly and supportive environment. With a maximum of 12 students per class, you’ll enjoy plenty of speaking time and personalised feedback from your teacher.

The topics will be selected according to what you and the other students would like to talk about, but we usually discuss some of the following subjects: technology, travel, health and fitness. There will also be a focus on using language to handle everyday, practical situations such as ordering food in a restaurant, cooking and recipes, asking for and giving directions and checking into a hotel.

Because you will be learning many new words on the course, there will also be a focus on pronunciation such as syllables and word stress and you will learn some new techniques for pronouncing the language correctly.

This is not a grammar course, but at this level, grammatical mistakes are quite common and they can stop you holding a fluent and accurate conversation. So your teacher will spend some time explaining any grammar mistakes that you and your fellow students make. Some lessons will be based on role-plays, where you will work together in groups to solve a particular task. These fun lessons have been developed by the teachers to get you to talk together as much as possible.

How do the online lessons take place?You don’t need to be a tech wizard to take part, but your learning experience will be best if your webcam and microphone are of reasonable quality. You take part in the class via the video conferencing programme, Zoom. Your teacher will upload a secure link to the class meeting room on our digital platform, Moodle. You and your fellow students will meet online once a week. You will work with real-world texts, video and audio clips as well as interactive group tasks. Online classes are similar to face-to-face classes in that you can work in groups, take part in classroom discussions, raise your hand and share your work with everyone.
