About this course

Our Conversation Course combines self-study vocabulary and pronunciation with intensive speaking practice.

Using material from a specially selected course book, you will do a variety of communicative tasks and your teacher will give you advice about how you can improve the fluency and accuracy of your spoken English.

WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE THIS BRITISH COUNCIL COURSE?

Take a Conversation Course and you will:

  • Study with a qualified and experienced teacher
  • work in pairs and groups to discuss interesting topics 
  • use a material that provides you with key vocabulary and a range of speaking tasks for each topic
  • improve your pronunciation 
  • enjoy speaking English.

THE RIGHT LEVEL FOR YOU

We have two levels of conversation courses. Conversation A2 is for students with an Elementary level of English and Conversation B1 is for students with a Pre-intermediate level of English. The course is designed to increase your active vocabulary and give you more confidence and control when speaking in English.

If you are new to the British Council, you will need to take a placement test to find out if you have the right level to do a Focus on Speaking course. Book a test by calling or by visiting the Kuwait English language centre.

HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? 

Your teacher will assess your participation, pronunciation, fluency and accuracy, and suggest what type of course you should do next to continue to improve your English. At the end of the course you will receive a certificate giving details of your attendance and performance in class.
