You will also work on your pronunciation and explore how you can use the language in real-life situations, outside the classroom. Afternoon classes will introduce new learning tools like discussions, role plays, video work and listening exercises. You may also have the chance to study for an exam like IELTS, Cambridge, or FCE - and practice key exam skills. In addition, the Business English option, where available, will help you improve your language skills for work.
