These may vary according to the needs and interests of the group, but will generally include:

topics: talking about your projects, giving advice, discussing current affairs;

grammar: consolidation of future and conditional tenses, if clauses.

The course is essentially based on the communicative approach, without seeking to devalue the traditional methods that some students may be more familiar with. Great importance is attached to the creation of a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where everyone feels able to contribute. This means: - active students’ interaction - emphasis on speaking and listening skills - pair and group work - role plays - use of realia, pictures and authentic material - use of audio-visual techniques when appropriate Please note, students are expected to participate in oral classroom activities and to do some homework as and when required.
