Spoken English Course Intermediate, Module 1 Welcome to the British Council. The Spoken English Course focuses on communication through speaking and listening. All course materials will be provided each lesson – you do not have to buy a course book. It is not a grammar-based course but covers functional and topic-related language / vocabulary in a range of different situations. Each week will cover a different function or topic. Module 1 focuses on developing spoken accuracy and fluency around the topic of forming and developing friendships and relationships. The following themes are not necessarily in order:  Feeling confident when meeting someone for the first time  Using small-talk  Talking about pastimes and free time activities  Being polite in English  Knowing what to say when you don’t know what to say  Story-telling  Giving advice  Socialising and networking  Expressing opinions  Agreeing, disagreeing and managing a discussion Your course: As well as developing your speaking and listening skills, this course may also include some short reading or listening tasks. The main focus of the course is for you to communicate successfully with others; this means that error correction takes place at certain points in the lesson, not necessarily every time a mistake is made. You will not be assessed on this course; however, you will regularly be provided with feedback from your teacher. If you have a specific problem or question, please speak to the teacher directly. This course can be taken alongside one of our general English courses, which are grammar and skills-based, or independently. The main focus of this course is to improve your ability to communicate effectively in English. www.britishcouncil.ro
