This course is for students who are seeking to communicate effectively in everyday situations and gain a sound understanding of the principles of the English language. The course structure is designed around a course book and provides the opportunity for students to improve the skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking as well as enhancing and increasing their active / working vocabulary and grammar knowledge. By the end of their stay the students can expect to have improved not only their communicative competence, through their study of ‘survival’ English and ‘everyday’ English but will have also achieved a new level of learner autonomy and confidence.
Course books may be bought for about £20 or hired from LAL Torbay by paying a £10 refundable deposit.
