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 Latin or 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. For those with at least one year of previous study. |
Intermediate 1 |
A course with a stronger focus on grammatical awareness and conversational language, moving on from "holiday language". For those with at least two years of previous study. |
Intermediate 2 |
A course for students who want to be able to converse using a range of tenses and topics. For those with at least three years of previous study. |
Conversation / Advanced |
This course has a strong focus on conversational language and makes use of authentic texts and listening material. For those with at least four years of previous study. |
All courses run initially for 10 weeks.
Many courses run for a further 10 weeks after Christmas, and a final 10 weeks after Easter, subject to interest and tutor availability.
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.
NEW for September 2008, afternoon courses for children to learn a language alongside their parents through games, songs and activities. Ideal for children aged 5 – 11. All children must be accompanied by an adult enrolled on the course.
