This course is suitable for 16–18-year-old students who have gained some ability to express themselves in English and are already able to maintain a simple, straight-forward conversation, but wish to develop their fluency, expand their vocabulary and improve their pronunciation in order to gain confidence when speaking using informal and some formal terminology. They will be able to become more self-assured in their spoken and non-verbal skills.
Students will be able to improve their reading and writing skills and improve their usage of grammar.
Students will also be studying Maths and practising IT skills. They will be working towards achieving ESOL Entry 3 (Speaking & Listening, Reading and Writing) ASCENTIS and Maths certificates from EDEXCEL Awarding Body.
