EFL (Advanced)

Your Course
This course will suit those who have passed First Certificate in English or have an equivalent level of English.
The aim of this course is to extend and deepen the learner's already good knowledge of the language. Listening and speaking will be emphasised during the 10 week course. In relation to listening the learners will be exposed to a range of accents and topics which will improve their ability to understand in a wide variety of situations, including listening to the radio, participating in meetings etc.
Speaking practice during the course will also involve discussing many different themes which will increase fluency and give greater confidence in using the language. The steady introduction of new vocabulary during the course will also enable learners to express themselves with increased precision. Advanced grammar points will be dealt with and this will result in improved accuracy both orally and in writing. The latter, together with reading, will mostly be done as homework with feedback from the teacher afterwards.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be testing session at 5.50pm on the first week to check your level.
