Oral and Written Communication-Initiation Level A1

Teaching Methods

Students will be involved in work sessions that will allow them have contact with different social contexts and situations, different kinds of written and oral texts, protocols and speech acts, specific and general topics and ideas that are predictably necessary for the use of language in diverse communication activities.
