Lesson content
The Conversation class will be a fluid course that covers topics as requested by the students themselves. It will be planned according to the needs & wishes of the students and their host families week by week.
- I am hoping students will be happy to contribute topic ideas & suggestions from their own experience and I will be able to contact you via email to get this feedback
- The English levels will inevitably be mixed but hopefully in this kind of class setting it will work well as students are all new to England & will have different knowledge gaps
- There will not be a course book for this class but I will handout/email work sheets to be completed at home before or after the class
Lesson location
I have a central venue large enough to hold the conversation classes for up to 15 people.
- In a central Harpenden & reachable on foot
- I will try and minimise paper worksheets (by emailing material in advance)
- I will What's App the location to registered students a day before the class
