Highlights

Speaking and Listening 2 is at a higher level than Speaking and Listening 1, and builds on and enhances the skills learned there. However, as long as you meet the entry requirements, there is no need for you to do Speaking and Listening 1 first.

By enhancing your speaking and listening skills, the course will help you to:

  • cope with English in less formal situations both at work and socially
  • gain confidence when listening to naturally spoken English, and be more able to respond to it
  • expand your range of useful idioms, slang and colloquial expressions
  • practise your skills through class discussion and role-play

To benefit from the course, you must be prepared to speak in front of others and take an active role in the activities and exercises that the teacher gives you.
