Online Conversation Course

Our English language courses combine online learning with real-time discussions

–

How it Works

Our unique Online Conversation Course has two components. Homestudy helps to improve reading, vocabulary, comprehension and listening skills. It is also important preparation for group discussions. Exercises are based on authentic reading and listening material from English media (The Guardian Newspaper, BBC, Wikipedia, TED Talks, Youtube, etc.). In part two, Online via Zoom, the focus is entirely on conversation. For sixty minutes, participants have an opportunity to practise, and enhance, their fluency by engaging in paired discussions with fellow students.
