Did you know that English is spoken differently from the way you speak Portuguese? If you would like to improve your pronunciation and your speaking fluency, then this course could be for you!
A focus in this course is improving your conversation skills for study, work, and daily life situations. Themes in the course are related to study and work and general interest.
Improving your speaking also involves interacting between listener and speaker, so listening is a necessary part of conversation. Attention is given to grammar and vocabulary because you need to understand each other clearly.
Teaching methods are student-centred, innovative, and communicative, with an emphasis on students gaining control of how they make conversation in English. You will get involved in using English for conversation tasks!
This is a specialised 30-hour course, only available online. Learning online facilitates the optimum use of audio and video, and your teacher can monitor your progress individually or in groups.
Register until September 15th September 22nd.
