"I'm studying basic level Chinese evening classes. I am finding it to be an excellent experience and fun too. The class sizes are small so I can get one-to-one help when needed"
Hugo Card, Chinese Evening Class Student
"Our classes are relaxed and fun. It gives students the opportunity to know something about other cultures. This is a great way to build bridges, and understand each other"
Odai Alzoubi, Arabic Evening Class Tutor

Level Descriptors

 

Beginners 1 Classes: These language courses are suitable for people with no prior knowledge of the language, who would like to use it for holiday and / or work-related purposes. By the end of the course you will be able to formulate simple sentences in a conversational setting and understand written and spoken language at a basic level.

Beginners 2 Classes: These language courses follow on from Beginners 1. They are for students who have taken 20 to 30 hours of teaching. They are suitable for people with some knowledge of the language but not complete beginners.

Improvers 1 Classes: These language courses are suitable for those who have already studied the language for about a year and / or have completed Beginners level 2 or have achieved GCSE level (perhaps a little rusty?). They will reinforce what you have already learnt and further extend your vocabulary and fluency.

Improvers 2 Classes: These language courses follow on from Improvers level 1 and will reinforce what you have already learnt and further extend your vocabulary and fluency.

Advanced Classes: These language courses are suitable for people who have already studied the language up to A Level standard or have completed Improvers level 2 and wish to consolidate their skills and increase their confidence. Please notice that these courses are not suitable for those who have studied the language for three or more years at an intensive level or are near-native speakers. 

British Sign Language:

"I would describe my course as a pre- Level 1 course. I cover conversational BSL and Deaf Awareness in some depth. A student who was planning to take BSL further would find it a good springboard into Level 1 and beyond."

Course Tutor, Wendy Hazelden
