Learners will learn to follow and participate in discussions, listen to and follow instructions and give personal opinions on topics. Learners will also learn to read and understand short texts such as notes, forms, and articles, and write to communicate information and opinions in texts such as emails, articles and forms. As well as completing the Trinity exams, learners will also develop their grammar and vocabulary, and gain confidence in producing spoken and written English.
