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

This course requires the student to have completed Swedish 2 upper: module 1 or equivalent experience (i.e. have actively studied the language for at least 1 year recently). Students should be able to make basic conversation about everyday situations, read short instructions and understand news reports in simple Swedish. They should also have a good knowledge of simple past and future tenses.
You will also need to be able to respond to simple instructions and explanations, as well as read course documents, in English. You will need to be at ease with the use of numbers for daily activities (e.g. using money, telling the time, using the 24 hour clock, reading timetables). It would also be helpful if you had some knowledge of basic grammar terminology such as: a verb, a noun and conjugation.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Our courses are characterised by spoken interaction and communication. Typical activities include pair work, group work, role plays and games. A range of resources will be used to support your learning including presentations, hand-outs, and audio-visual material.
