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 about 3-4 academic years of equivalent. Students will be expected to have some knowledge of present, past, future, conditional gerund, and present subjunctive and imperative tenses, although these will be revised and practiced as needed. They will also be expected to bring personal, social, cultural and topical news  to the classroom and make presentations about them. Topics for conversation will include plays, films, exhibitions, current affairs, and personal interests students may want to talk about.

We shall continue to revise and practise the present subjunctive tense, and will also do the past subjunctive, and the if clause, as well as the use of prepositions and ‘to become’. Speaking will be the main activity, and the target language will be used as much as possible, but grammatical explanations will be done in English. Students will participate in discussions and debates arriving from their presentations and articles provided by the teacher. Other activities will include reading and listening, comprehensions, translation and written homework using handouts provided by the teacher, as well as exercises from the book we will be reading.

Students will be expected to buy: Simple Coincidencia by Salvador Álvaro Garcia ISBN 84-667-0053-6
