Detailed Description
A course for those moving on from an elementary course, or whose knowledge is rusty or who may not feel confident to go forward to an advanced course. At least two years of part-time study will have been completed at this stage. The emphasis is on speaking and understanding, but new grammatical structures will be learned and reading and writing skills will be developed. A course book is sometimes used to allow you to work on your own and to form a framework for your learning.
The Intermediate class aims to build on the knowledge of basic language structures and functions allowing you to express yourself more freely in everyday situations. You will be encouraged to work out your own strategy for learning and, within the framework of the syllabus, develop language structures and functions for your own perceived needs and interests. The syllabus contains the following topics and language structures in addition to the revision and consolidation of those in the earlier courses:
You will be given an insight into the history and culture of the country within the framework of your language studies. You will be given the opportunity to pursue your own personal research into a topic of cultural interest which contains some analysis or debate.
