About the Class

Headline English is a conversation course for people around the world who want to discuss topical issues from news reports in a fun and entertaining way. In addition to discussion and debate, participants learn new vocabulary and grammar combined with listening and reading exercises. A one-hour conversation is divided into 12 sections*, each one concentrating on a specific aspect of speaking: discussion, range, confidence, pressure speaking, talking about experience, intuition, synonyms, brainstorming, collocation, reading, consolidation, and close. From Barack Obama to Winnie the Pooh, aromatherapy to Cuban homes, Australian bush fires to the swine flu and Michael Jackson, students enjoy speaking about a different topic every day*. Please contact Stephen Jones for more information. We really look forward to speaking with you soon in Headline English.
*for private one-to-one sessions only
