Spanish Improvers (Daytime)
Your Course
This course is suitable for those students who have already studied Spanish for about one year. Instruction is given in Spanish using visual and audio supports. The course aims to develop the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in Spanish. It enables students to understand native Spanish speakers and will help them in practical conversation. Come and learn Spanish in a fun and relaxed atmosphere through role-play, music and games.
During the course students will take short internal assessments in speaking Spanish at Preliminary level. This will help to prepare them for the OCR Asset language tests that will be taken at the end of the Improvers' year.
'Pasos 1' will be used as a focus for study and additional supplementary material will be provided.
