The course thus relies on task-based activities designed to provide the student with the maximum amount of ‘hands-on’ practice.

The following topics will be studied during the course:

  • Greetings and introductions
  • Small talk
  • Saying good bye
  • Invitations – offering, accepting and declining
  • Making excuses
  • Suggesting and responding
  • Likes and dislikes
  • Starting and ending a conversation
  • Showing interest
  • Making and changing arrangements
  • Giving directions
  • Social customs
