What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

understand specific details and general information from routine telephone calls,
follow routine instructions (e.g., for a game, recipe, using equipment or installing computer software),
understand articles from the press or other authentic sources and produce a written summary covering the main points.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
The course uses a communicative approach, with an emphasis on interaction and practical use of the language. Activities include:
Pair and group work
Role plays and discussions
Listening and reading comprehension
Grammar and vocabulary exercises
Homework will be set regularly to consolidate classroom learning.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
