By the end of the year students will be able to:

- Exchange views confidently on a range of topical subjects. Take part in a discussion with native speakers with a near native command of the language.

- Use language appropriate to the situation and subject.

- Obtain information, ideas and opinions from a variety of sources. Extract required details fully and accurately.

- Produce written texts for a variety of purposes appropriate to the context .

You will gain an insight into the culture of the country where the language is spoken.

How will I be taught?

The emphasis is on oral communication (speaking and listening) but some reading and writing will also be included. The course will be conducted in the foreign language. A variety of teaching strategies will be used. Learner participation will be through individual, pair and group work. Cassettes/CDs and videos/DVDs may be used.



Initial assessment is carried out at the beginning of the course to assess individual skill level. Each student's starting point is recorded on an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) and targets are set to aid development of the skill. These are revisited from time to time during the course to monitor and record progress.

What do I need to bring with me?

A course book may be used, in which case, it will be discussed at the first session. We advise students not to purchase books or expensive materials until after the first class. Students should bring a pen and paper and an A4 ring binder for handouts.

What can I do next?

If there is enough student interest, the tutor can ask for a follow-on “Extra” course for the group to allow continued learning until the next course begins after which a course at degree level should be considered. The tutor will advise.
During your course your tutor will offer guidance in relation to your personal progression route. Courses are designed to progress you to further study or into employment. In addition some of our courses support access to Further and Higher Education opportunities. KAE web site has information about these courses and developing your own business. Please speak with your tutor if you have an interest in self-employment or an interest in developing a career. We can also help you access the National Careers service.
