Course programme

In addition to consolidating what you have learnt so far, the primary focus is on being able to talk about past events. We will study the past simple tense (of both weak and strong verbs), the past continuous and the present perfect.

The lessons are based on the communicative approach. The emphasis is put on speaking and listening. There will be pair and group work as well as role-plays. Audio-visual techniques will be included whenever appropriate. Please note, students are expected to participate in oral classroom activities and to do some homework.
