About the course
Our Intermediate level classes are ideal for those learners who have attended our Beginner and Improver level classes, or who meet the required standard as a result of previous learning. The Intermediate level is run for a full academic year and you will maximise your learning experience if you attend all lessons over three terms. At this level we hope that you are able to work outside of class time to consolidate your learning as this helps you make rapid progress. You are supported by experienced Tutors, many of whom are native speakers, they will stretch and challenge you to exceed your targets on an ongoing basis. You will enjoy the learning experience working alongside motivated peers in a supportive learning environment. Flexible learning hours of 60 - 90 hours
How the course will be delivered
Some classes are delivered face to face in a classroom environment. Classes are also delivered online, this means you can learn from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere you can connect to the internet. Adult Learning uses Zoom to deliver blended learning. Your Tutor sends an invitation to join the class each week which ensures that you learn in a safe and supportive environment. We will review our delivery methods throughout the year so we can respond to learner preferences.
What you'll need to bring
You will need a pen and note book for all classes, a bi-lingual dictionary would also be very useful. If you are part of a blended learning class then you will need a stable and reliable internet connection and a device that allows you to connect to this, such as a laptop or tablet ( smart mobile phones are not suitable). It is recommended that you have a quiet area of your home to work from so you get the best learning experience. The tutor will advise you if there is anything specific that you need to join our languages classes.
Entry requirements
Our Intermediate level classes are suitable for those who have attended Beginner & Improver level courses, or who meet the entry requirements. You will have an initial assessment to make sure this is the right course and level for you to succeed.
