Overview
This course will help you improve your English for study and work purposes. It will cover all four language skills (Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking) and knowledge of intermediate to upper-intermediate grammar and vocabulary. We will prepare you for the internationally recognised Cambridge English: First (also known as FCE) exam. Preparing for the exam will allow you to develop your language skills in real-life situations.
This course will help you to:
- communicate more effectively in life, work and study in an English speaking country.
- understand the main ideas of complex pieces of writing.
- listen to and have a conversation on a fairly wide range of topics.
- express your opinions and present arguments
- produce clear, detailed writing, expressing opinions and explaining the advantages and disadvantages of different points of view.
FCE topics include: personal details/ experiences, work, technology and media, education/training, family and friends, health, the past, the future, consumerism, leisure, culture and society.
An example of some the areas we will revise and practise: an overview of verb patterns in English, verbs followed by gerund and/or infinitive, the passive, conditional forms, modals. We will also help you to expand your vocabulary and your knowledge of word formation, phrasal verbs and idioms.
You must be 16 years or over before 1st July 2023. We will assess your level of English before enrolment to check that you are at the appropriate level for this course. Please note that you cannot enrol on a year long course any later than the first week in November.
