Engels conversatie 1 (Halfgevorderd A2+ / 1S)
Whether you want to learn another language for travelling or working abroad, to develop yourself, to boost your career opportunities or to be a global citizen, learning English is the way to go. The English language dominates the business world, arts, culture, entertainment, social media and aviation. English is the number one language in international communication – and with 2 billion speakers worldwide – it’s safe to say the English language is well worth learning. Experts say that by 2050 half the world will be speaking English, therefore you need English to communicate with the world!
Participating in English conversation lessons is a great way to improve your knowledge and understanding of the English language. This year the VUA offers pre-intermediate (A2), intermediate (B1)- and advanced (B2) conversational courses. It goes without saying that flexibility and differentiation have a prominent place in the classroom, so students will be supported and challenged as needed.
During the lessons we will work both classically and in groups. The teaching methods and materials are varied and combine traditional teaching practices with games and activities to encourage and stimulate oral participation. Although the emphasis of the course is placed upon speaking- and conversational skills, these are not stand-alone skills, therefore attention will also be paid to listening- and reading. Additionally, grammar and vocabulary appropriate to the level will be offered to reinforce communication competency through language chunks.
Can-Do statements for pre-intermediate A2+ level:
Listening: I can understand phrases and the highest frequency vocabulary related to areas of most immediate personal relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local area, employment). I can catch the main point in short, clear, simple messages and announcements.
Reading: I can read very short, basic texts. I can find specific, predictable information in clear everyday material such as advertisements, prospectuses, menus and timetables and I can understand short simple personal letters.
Spoken interaction: I can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a straightforward and direct exchange of information on familiar topics and activities. I can handle very short social exchanges and express simple opinions, even though I can’t usually understand enough to keep the conversation going myself.
Spoken production: I can use a series of phrases and sentences to describe in simple terms my family and other people, living conditions, my educational background and work.
Writing: I can write short, basic notes and messages relating to matters in areas of immediate needs. I can write a short simple personal letter, for example thanking someone for something.
