Do you want to speak more Portuguese and build on your basic skills? This Portuguese Beginners Plus course is for you.
You will benefit from being in a classroom, from exchanging face to face with a supportive tutor and others as you practise speaking and enjoy learning the language. You will build on your previous knowledge of basic key phrases, vocabulary, simple grammar and culture.

After the result of the initial assessment the tutor will focus on 4 of the follwing outcomes:
• exchange information about self, work and life
• express likes and dislikes / agreements and disagreements
• exchange information about past events
• describe appearance and personalities
• explain simple health problems
• make arrangements using the simple future

You will be given homework to reinforce classroom learning.

How will I be taught?

The emphasis on this course is on listening and speaking. The lesson focus on language that is required in authentic situations. To help you develop language skills the course will be conducted mainly in the foreign language. You will work through different activities individually, in pairs and in small groups, using a variety of learning methods and resources (role-play, games…). To ensure your progression, it is essential to attend on a regular basis. We also recommend that you spend 1 – 2 h each week doing private study as directed by your tutor.
With your tutor, you will monitor and record your progress on your learning plan (ILP)

What do I need to bring with me?

The course book will be discussed at the first session if appropriate. Students will need to bring a pen and paper and an A4 ring binder for handouts, although we advise students not to buy anything until after the first session.

What can I do next?

After this, the next appropriate follow-on course is a Beginners Plus 2 Portuguese course. The tutor will be able to advise or check www.kentadulteducation.co.uk.
