Is this course for me

The course is for students who already have good basic English skills and who may have completed Level 1 ESOL.
It is not for complete beginners. This course is suitable for upper-intermediate learners who already have a very good command of the English language.
You will expand your vocabulary, improve your pronunciation and fluency.

Course aims

By the end of the course you should be able to:

* Be able to speak English to communicate
* Be able to convey information
* Be able to engage in discussion with others
* Be able to obtain information from verbal communication

Please bring a pen, notebook and an A4 folder to each lesson.
If you are studying online, you will need secure internet connection, a laptop, tablet or PC. We do not recommend using a phone to attend online due to limited functionality.

You can progress to an ESOL qualification in speaking & listening, reading or writing or a course in maths and IT. There is a wide range of other courses available with Kent Adult Education or other providers to support further study or employment.
Talk to your tutor about next steps. The National Careers Service may attend your course to advise about further study or employment opportunities.
