Courses run for three hours per week over 12 weeks, starting in September and January and take place on our Brayford Pool Campus in Lincoln.
Our tutors are a mixture of native and fluent speakers, and class sizes are usually under 20 students. If you are unsure of your level, you will be assessed by our tutors to put you in a class that matches your current ability.
All courses carry University credits worth 15 CATs (Credit Accumulation Transfer points), and you also receive a Certificate of Achievement upon successful completion.
Classes for Beginners* French, German, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese
These modules are designed for students who wish to learn a new language from scratch, enabling you to develop the basic language skills needed to survive a trip abroad. Learning is taught through role-plays and short conversations, using videos and authentic reading and listening materials.
Mandarin Chinese is also available at post-beginners; the level between beginners and intermediate.
Classes for Intermediate Speakers* French, German and Spanish
Classes for Intermediate Speakers are designed for students who already have a GCSE or equivalent in the language.
Participation in in-class conversations will develop strong foundations in your chosen language. The course focuses on listening, speaking, reading, writing and grammar, and there is also the opportunity to learn more about the culture associated with the language you are learning.
Classes for Advanced Speakers* French, German and Spanish
Advanced Speakers courses are designed for students who already have an A-Level or equivalent in their chosen language. This course will build confidence in your language skills, enabling you to develop autonomous communication. Most sessions at Advanced level will be conducted in the foreign language, and an emphasis will be placed on using the correct register when speaking and writing. Cultural sensitivity will also be explored, as will grammatical accuracy and lexical precision.
* Please note that all classes run subject to student numbers.
