This is the follow-on courses from your Improvers B course where you will continue to improve your conversation and your understanding of the language. You will continue to improve your ability to maintain convers short conversations in different situations and to understand short texts and audios on different topics.
During this course you will work to be able to develop a deeper understanding of the subject in applying the language in in relation to certain activities examples of which are listed below:

- Describe recent events.

- Apologise and give excuses.

- Talk about personal experiences and what we have done in our lives.

- Express opinions. Also, express agreement and disagreement.

- Shopping for clothes

If you are to gain maximum benefit and enjoyment from your language class, it will be useful to spend some time working between sessions. There will usually be a small amount of homework set each week (up to an hour’s work). When homework is not set, it is still a good idea to spend about that amount of time going over what has been done in class.

Free parking onsite, bus stop outside. Bring own refreshments if needed. No class during half term.
