This course aims to improve communication skills for everyday use at intermediate level. Students will practise speaking and listening skills through simple conversations, role plays, discussions, presentations and other communicative activities. They will expand or refresh vocabulary and sentence structures to gain more fluency in everyday situations. The course is designed for intermediate students who have completed or almost completed Nuovo Espresso Book 2 or approximately 150 hours of Italian. However, the course may be useful also for students at higher levels who would like to revise and consolidate elementary conversational skills.

This class will be delivered face-to-face at WEA Sydney. Enrolling students need to ensure they have read the current COVID-19 Safety Guidance that WEA Sydney has put in place before enrolling.
