Please note that this class takes place on the first floor meaning there is unfortunately no step-free access.

This course is for those who are confident with basic conversation and want to improve their fluency and accuracy when talking about a wide range of subjects, and have studied for 5 or 6 academic years (or equivalent), or for those who have studied in the past, and want to refresh and continue to practice after a break in their learning. Students will be expected to have some knowledge of present, past, future, conditional, imperative and subjunctive tenses, although these will be revised and practiced as needed. Students will also be encouraged to bring personal, social, cultural and topical news to the classroom, and make presentations about them. Topics of conversation will include plays, films, exhibitions, current affairs, and personal interests students may want to talk about.

Students will be asked at the beginning of each term if there is anything they want to, or feel they need to revise regarding grammar or any area of interest they would like to explore. Speaking will be the main activity, and it will be done entirely in the target language. Other activities will include group discussions and debates, reading and translating a book which students will have to purchase, and newspaper articles which will be provided by the teacher.

The book we will be studying this term is Mejor Manolo by Elvira Lindo
