Description

B1–B2 English speaking and conversation course

The darkness of November offers a good opportunity to pause and think about change – what has changed in winter, in the world and in our own lives, and what might change next? During the course, we will share ideas, have conversations and challenge ourselves to use English with a little more confidence.

Saturday: Winter & a Changing World – Finnish winter, winter memories and climate change.

Sunday: Change & New Beginnings – how life, work and everyday life have changed, as well as new hobbies, goals and challenges.

Grammar focus: narrative tenses, present perfect vs. past simple, used to, future forms and conditionals.

After the course, students will be more confident discussing different kinds of change, expressing their opinions, and talking about their experiences, future plans and possibilities in English.

Trainer

Soili Hämäläinen, M.A., English Teacher (CertIBET), NLP Trainer, Coach, Positive Psychology Practitioner.
