In addition, it will be helpful if the student is comfortable working on a computer, has basic IT skills, and is prepared to work in pairs during classroom workshops. You will also be expected to complete an Individual Learning Plan to help support your progress.

You will learn through, practical activities, group exercises and peer assessment, listening and analysis, demonstration and discussion, use of supporting online materials, individual practice, use of ILT and continuous assessment. There is no homework associated with the sessions but please do discuss extension activities with your tutor.
