Getting it Right Special: Speaking
Content and aims
Are you tired of making the same old mistakes? It’s good to get your message across clearly, but it goes without saying that we want to do it in a way that is as correct as possible, too.
Speaking English with a high level of accuracy means getting just right the grammar, vocabulary, formality and pronunciation of what you want to say.
• Learn useful idiomatic phrases
• Get grammatical structures explained
• Compare differences in the use of similar words
• Get the tone right for a specific context
• Optimise your pronunciation, especially intonation.
In each 60-minute session we will produce a perfect, native-speaker-like dialogue for a specific scenario, after analysing and discussing the different ways of formulating what we want to say. Experience how fascinating and fun accuracy-based speaking activities can be!
