Each class will include a number of activities targeted at different skills, grouped around a particular topic related to everyday life or the workplace. Extensive use will be made of audio recordings and reading texts to help set the scene for the topic and enable practice of receptive skills. Learners will be encouraged to discuss their reactions to and opinions about the topics we cover. Pronunciation practice is integrated into the lessons where appropriate. Grammar activities will be controlled and freer practice to consolidate grammar forms and structures in the form of role-plays and writing tasks such as work-related emails, CV and cover letters.
