You will work in pairs or small groups to practise expressions and sentence patterns and develop practical comprehension skills through reading, listening to recordings, watching DVDs and using the Internet and language laboratory.

You will meet material in the form of everyday dialogues, interviews of native speakers and short written texts such as advertisements, tourist leaflets, magazines and newspapers, which provide a wealth of words and expressions. As they arise in context, the grammatical structures necessary for effective communication will be explained and practised.
