Course structure
The teaching is in Swedish from the beginning and the main focus is on oral communication. We use practical daily life situations for practicing - in pairs or in small groups. We work a lot with listening comprehension and conversation skills, where grammar is intergrated.
You are expected to take an active part in the lessons and your personal points of view are a valuable contribution to how the course is conducted. To benefit from the course you should plan for a few hours of homework per week.
Summer activities
When booking this course you will also be invited to a language café and a guided citywalk free of charge in the afternoons. We will inform you more about this once the course has started.
