This course is focused on people wanting to improve their English language skills for work. The level of this English for work course is intermediate.
We will look at the four major language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. In addition, there will be a strong focus on accuracy, and this means building up your knowledge of grammar and vocabulary. We will also practise listening to spoken English and improving skills and confidence in this difficult area.
No textbook is needed, and course materials will be provided.
The course is funded per term; you may find, as most learners do, that you will need more than one term to be prepared for any higher level courses or future exams (if you choose to enter for them). If this is the case you will be offered the opportunity to re-enrol and pay for another term (or if still available we may be able to fund you again).
