When selecting a language course, you are welcome to call our Language College Director, Chris Lillington, to discuss which level may be most appropriate for you. The following provides a general guide (does not apply to Sign Language):

 

Beginners	An introductory course with a particular focus on “holiday language”. For those with very little or no previous knowledge.
Continuation	A continuation of the beginners course, this level revises and builds on basic knowledge. At least one year of previous study.
Intermediate 1	A stronger focus on grammatical awareness and conversational language, moving on from "holiday language". At least two years of previous study.
Intermediate 2	For students who want to be able to converse using a range of tenses and topics. At least three years of previous study.
Intermediate 3	For students working at approximately GCSE level with a secure grasp of grammar who wish to build their vocabulary and develop their fluency. At least four years of previous study.
Conversation / Advanced	This course has a strong focus on conversational language and makes use of authentic texts and listening material. At least five years of previous study.

 

All our courses run for a 10-week block initially. In most cases, students will be invited to continue for a further 10 weeks after Christmas, and then another 10 weeks after Easter. Therefore many courses actually run for 30 weeks in total. We use this system of termly enrolment because our students prefer it.

Please note that the Beginners course is intended for students learning the language “from scratch”. If you wish to take up a language which you have studied in the past, please try the Continuation course rather than the Beginners course. This will ensure that both you and the other students in the group get the most out of the course.

 

 

AFTERNOON courses for children to learn a language alongside their parents through games, songs and activities. Ideal for children from Year 1 upwards. All children must be accompanied by an adult enrolled on the course.

 

Course	Level	Day	Time	Courses are taught by our native speaker Foreign Language Assistants and commence on 7th October 2010.
Family French	Beginners	Thursday	4 – 5pm
Family German	Beginners	Thursday	4 – 5pm
Family Spanish	Beginners	Thursday	4 – 5pm

FAMILY LANGUAGE COURSES: Full fee - £26;  Concession - £18;  School pupils - £18

As a registered Centre for Signature (CACDP) awards in British Sign Language (BSL), we are delighted to offer accredited courses at Level 1 and Level 2. Courses in BSL, along with all other language courses, benefit from a subsidy through our funding as a Specialist Language College.

For your convenience we allow payment on a termly basis, as with other courses. There is an expectation, however, that students will continue for the full 30 week course in order to gain accreditation. Please note that the second ten-week block starts before Christmas and the final ten-week block starts before Easter. There is a break for the school holidays, but the full 30 week block runs straight on apart from these breaks.

SIGNATURE (CACDP) LEVEL 1 AWARD IN BRITISH SIGN LANGUAGE
The Level 1 Award in BSL provides an introduction and is suitable for all learners. A range of topics are studied that involve simple, everyday language use:

Weeks 1-10	BSL Unit 101	Introduction to BSL	Meeting people, numbers, weather, transport, directions
Weeks 11-20	BSL Unit 102	Conversational BSL	At home: people, animals and objects, numbers, interests and activities, weather
Weeks 21-30	BSL Unit 103	BSL at School, College or Work	Getting around, exchanging information, refreshments, numbers

The termly course fee includes the exam fee for that term’s assessment unit:

Level 1 course fees INCLUDE exam fees	FULL FEE	Full time student or Over 60 and in full time retirement	School pupil (age 11+) or In receipt of means-tested benefits
Block 1 (BSL101)	£49	£37	£26
Block 2 (BSL102)	£64	£52	£41
Block 3 (BSL103)	£64	£52	£41

  
SIGNATURE (CACDP) LEVEL 2 CERTIFICATE IN BRITISH SIGN LANGUAGE
Learners develop an ability to communicate with deaf people in a range of familiar and work-related contexts, participating in longer and more open-ended exchanges.

At Level 2 the three assessed units take place later in the course. Therefore, the course fees for Level 2 do not include the following exam fees:

BSL Unit 201	BSL Receptive skills	Exam fee: £30	For course fees see 'How to enrol' page
BSL Unit 202	BSL Productive skills	Exam fee: £40
BSL Unit 203	BSL Conversational skills	Exam fee: £40
