- A computer with microphone and camera is best (e.g. a PC/laptop/iMac/MacBook), or a tablet/iPad/smart phone/iPhone if you don't have a computer.

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

  • easily follow and take part in complex conversations between native speakers in group discussion and debates, including those on abstract and unfamiliar topics,
  • understand a wide range of recorded and broadcast audio material, including some non-standard usage,
  • identify finer points of detail including implicit attitudes and relationships between native speakers.
  • give a clear, well-structured presentation on a complex subject in your area of work, study, or special interest.

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

- Preparation for each class: students are asked to read a few pages ahead prior to the class to familiarise themselves with the text.
- Work in class: Students read aloud and discuss any grammar, vocab or pronunciation which is unfamiliar or interesting, as well as literary style and themes.

Please note that this course includes a week's break.
