Languages

We offer a wide range of different non-qualification language courses, allowing our learners to develop the skills to communicate confidently in the language of their choice and to become independent language learners. Our courses develop learners' four linguist skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. Our language courses are designed to support learners in developing and practising their language skills.

Our tutors also help learners to develop their understanding of the different cultures and societies of the languages they are learning.

To further learner's learning, we also deliver Language Talks and Enhancement courses.

The Benefits of Learning a Language! 

Our learners have reported that upon completing a course, they now felt self-assured to communicate in their chosen language; this has helped learners who travel or are relocating to another country to live. They've told us that they've also gained:

. Confidence to talk to locals
. Improved memory by keeping their brain active
. Increased creative thinking
. Development of self-pride
. Relationships with other adult learners
. Increased job opportunities
. Developed perspectives, through learning about new cultures
. Ability to explore new things, for example, films and art in their original form.

Language Talks and Advanced courses

We also offer foreign language talks and advanced language courses in a variety of interesting subjects, for those who are at intermediate/advanced level. The language talks are for those who want to improve their listening skills. You can sit back, relax, and listen to the language being spoken.

Our range of advanced courses are for those who can already hold a conversation in the language with confidence and are available in French, Spanish and Italian. For example, we do cooking courses, debates and cinema lessons.
