Course content
Learners will focus on role play between students to gain confidence in different community scenarios . For example: in a bank. Students will learn phrases relevant to bank accounts and banking terminology. They will then conduct role plays where one is the customer and the other a bank manager. A community element will be embedded into the programme with a trip into the community to a local bank where they will look at literature on offer and ask questions to the staff. This will be followed by a visit to a post office where they will find out different services conducted by a post office and will ask questions to staff.
