JTC: Advanced English Conversation Hours Prerequisites£
The Advanced Conversation Hours provide a relaxed weekly session, focusing on the type of language used in discussions and debates. They are suitable for learners comfortable in spoken interaction at level C1 upwards. Typical session topics include news events or social/political/cultural issues. The groups thrive on diversity and everyone is encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions at the same time as learning techniques for getting their ideas across, becoming clearer and more verbally precise.
