What to expect from class
Classroom activities
The course activities are founded upon various tasks. These tasks are functional, and are directly linked to a concrete situation, such as ‘having conversations with people on the street’ or ‘writing a job application’. By using multimedia, the teacher provides learners with opportunities to develop the four language skills: listening, reading, writing and speaking.
Together these parts add up to a four hour lesson. The lesson will take place as scheduled on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 09:00 – 13:00 (CET).
