You will work both as part of a group and as an individual. Tutors will use a variety of teaching methods, including explanation of language, discussions, presentations, authentic reading texts and exam practice.
The Speaking and Listening qualification is assessed by your tutor and City and Guilds through how you use your Speaking and Listening skills in set tasks. Reading and Writing are assessed through timed tasks and/or through end tests, some marked by City and Guilds. |
