This course is for those people who are familiar with the past & future tenses but more practise is needed. We will start to do more listening and reading exercises in order to widen your vocabulary and to enable you to express your own ideas and opinions.

We will split the teaching time into listening exercises, conversation & games activities to develop your oral skills and there will be some grammar explanations. We will work with grammar, reading & writing exercises at home.
