Program Duration Recommended 12 months of study
How does this work? We start with Tactics for Winning – this gives orientation and motivation for learners. Then each lesson consists of an audio CD and worksheets. The CD runs for about 20-30 minutes, but as it progresses you will be asked by the tutor to shut it off occasionally and refer to your worksheets.
It is this combination of explanation by audio CD plus exercises in your worksheets that makes progress so easy. You should be able to complete the full lesson in about 2 hours, after which a special exercise in pronunciation is undertaken. This is so that by the end of the course each student should not only be speaking English well, but also be using correct pronunciation.
Assessment and Award Once you have successfully completed the course, you will be awarded a Certificate in Speaking and Writing English.
