Most lessons include a final quiz too.
To receive your Certificate of Completion, you need a minimum score of 80% on the quizzes. You can repeat each quiz up to 10 times.
Study method
The course includes different types of lessons:
- Daily & Formal conversation lessons
- Grammar in action & Grammar boost lessons
- Vocabulary boost & Pronunciation boost lessons
As the name ‘Focused Listening’ says it, the most important activity in all the lessons is listening.
So, be prepared to do a lot of:
- Listening & writing (conversation lessons)
- Listening & note taking (grammar and vocabulary lessons)
- Listening & repeating (all lessons)
There are many written exercises as well. These will certainly improve your writing skills, but their main role in this course is to prepare you for the listening and speaking activities.
Recommendations:
1. Create folders on your computer where you can organise the PDFs, your own notes, and the audio files on a daily or weekly basis.
2.Make sure you save the audio files to your mobile device too so you can revise the lessons anytime anywhere.
