The material will be provided by the tutor and will be taken from a variety of
sources: texts and exercise books, videos, audios, newspaper (adapted) articles,
etc. The course has a communicative approach, and speaking activities will help us
to incorporate the grammar introduced in each session. Each session lasts for 2
hours.
