Foreign
Language Conversation Groups
Conversational Language Practice
Conversational practice in English, Dutch or French (other languages can be arranged if enough people in the company enroll).
Group meetings with a trainer (a native speaker and graduate who has received training in our accelerated educational methods). The objective is to gain comprehension and oral expression practice in the language.
Important: Conversation groups will not enable participants to move up a competency level: but they do ensure that active knowledge (spontaneous oral expression) of the target language is maintained.
Candidates
Ideally, participants should be able to hold an everyday conversation (at least intermediate level B1), and there should be no more than seven people to a group. This number can be increased to ten, in which case conversation will be organized in sub-groups, or greater participant interaction will be required. Participants can enroll for one or more sessions, as there is no continuity of content between sessions.
Levels
Intermediate to highly advanced (European proficiency levels A2+to C2).
Content
Adapted to suit the company’s requirements. Some participants prefer conversation on work-related themes, whereas others may wish to extend their general skills. Topics may be chosen in advance if participants wish. A consensus between the participants will be needed before starting. Grammar is not included in this program. However, the trainer may remind participants about specific rules.
Dates and location
Conversation groups are planned by and for the company. We recommend a minimum session length of 90 minutes.
