Course Summary

If English is not your first language, these friendly and informal classes will help you to improve your English skills and gain a qualification.

Course Details

Speaking and Listening, Reading and Writing classes are available from pre-entry to Level 2.

The speaking and listening classes will help you to develop confidence with your verbal communication, and you will practise making requests, conversation and discussion. Giving a presentation will also be included at Level 1 and 2.

The reading and writing classes will help you to develop reading for meaning and accuracy, looking for implicit meaning in texts, writing a range of texts, spelling, grammar and punctuation.

How will it be delivered and assessed?

The Speaking and Listening qualification is assessed by your tutor and City and Guilds through Speaking and Listening set tasks. Reading and Writing are assessed through timed tasks and/or through end tests, some marked by City and Guilds.

Entry requirements

There are no entry requirements, but you will have an interview and an assessment before you enrol for a class.

Many students complete a Speaking and Listening qualification before progressing to Reading or Writing but you will be advised which qualification is best suited to your needs. Classes start at various points throughout the year.
