Weekend English Adventure: Refreshing B1-B2 Themes face to face

Saturday and Sunday 23.-24.11.2024 from 9:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Local teaching in the educational facilities of Tampere Summer University.

Description

The more functional language you know, the more real-life situations you can interact with. During this intensive weekend, we approach mastering the English language through language functions.

Students often say they want to speak more fluently and sound more natural. Because practicing language patterns is a great way to improve fluency and build confidence. Although the most common models are already learned in the first years of study, functional language practice also has its place in more advanced courses.

Functional language used in a variety of situations provides students with a link to the real world and communication outside the relative safety of the classroom environment. It offers all students more opportunities to use spoken language, idioms and phrases naturally and learn different expressions for different contexts.

The topics discussed are related to generational differences and lifestyles, everyday technology such as smart devices and online learning, and future prospects.

In terms of structures, we practice e.g. comparison and conditionals. There are also vocabulary tasks, listening and videos based on authentic material. Plenty of time is set aside for free discussion.

Suitable for those who have taken the Life Intermediate online course and the Intensive English course, as well as those who know similar skills.
