Languages
Level 1 This level is for complete beginners. The aim is to introduce the basic linguistic skills and the background knowledge necessary for the student to communicate simply but effectively . The emphasis is on listening and speaking. At the end of Level 1 you should have an elementary grasp of the language. Level 2 Level 2 assumes competence at Level 1. The aim is to consolidate the language skills already acquired in Level 1 and to extend them. Use of the past tense allows more scope in speaking. Students will be encouraged to develop writing skills. At the end of Level 2 students should have acquired a basic grammatical knowledge of the language and the confidence to cope in everyday situations. Level 3 Level 3 assumes competence at Level 2. Increased accuracy, a wider range of vocabulary, practice in using the past, present and future tenses and a greater understanding of idiomatic expressions combine to give more confidence in speaking. The student will also acquire a greater degree of proficiency in both listening and reading comprehension. Level 4 Level 4 assumes competence at Level 3. By the end of Level 4 the student should be able to express themselves in every day situations, in a comprehensible and appropriate form.

E.F.L - English As A Foreign Language

To ensure our students are at the correct level, tests will be held at the Malden Centre on Monday 15 September at 10am and 1pm. The crche is also available, but must be booked in advance.
