Working methods
We work on speaking, listening, reading and writing, but our main focus is on verbal communication. The course is taught exclusively in English by teachers who have English as a native language. You will be working in pairs or small groups with classmates and taking an active part in lessons. You will be given homework for further practice throughout the course.
