Speaking and Listening in the English Language

The benefits of studying Speaking and Listening in the English Language

Our Speaking and Listening in the English Language course consists of one-to-one lessons with a Wolsey Hall Tutor. All our Tutors are native English speakers and fully qualified Primary School teachers. During the lessons, there will be the opportunity to practise English speaking and listening skills according to your child’s requirements.

Speaking and listening skills are vital for all primary children as they form the cornerstone of effective communication and learning. For children navigating English as an additional language, the development of speaking and listening skills is paramount. For those students with additional needs, the student may benefit from opportunities to practice their communication skills in the English language.

Following the first lesson, each lesson is tailored to meet the needs of the student, and the speaking and listening content will be mapped to the student’s current level of English language. Parents are welcome to suggest topics that they would like covered in the English conversation lessons.

Please note: Our Speaking and Listening course can only be taken alongside our Primary English or our Primary English as a Second Language course. When you enrol on the Speaking and Listening in the English Language course, the lessons are valid until the Expiry Date of your current English/English as a Second Language course.
