COURSE SUMMARY:
Do you feel that you need fresh and creative ideas to stimulate and motivate your learners? Do you feel that your course book is sometimes dull and needs bringing to life? At the same time, do you feel that your own spoken English is getting a bit rusty and you would like to reactivate it? Would you like to learn new "in" words and expressions in English, everyday idioms and a host of other areas to bring your current English up-to- date? If your answer to these questions is "Yes!" then come and join us!
