After completing the A2 level, participants can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). They will be able to communicate in simple tasks requiring a direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. Participants can describe their personal and professional backgrounds in simple terms, talk about their immediate environment and express needs and desires.

By the end of the course students will be able to:

• write letters, e-mails and text messages

• engage in and understand everyday discussion

• communicate in simple and routine situations by email and phone

• understand more complex forms of information

• express and defend their personal opinions
