Aims:
Words really are the driving force of language. They're the most important building blocks in how we express what we want to say. Pronunciation is how we say it, and this is important too: This course will help you understand what it means to know a idiom, and equip you with the key terms, techniques and methods for you to use idioms effectively in speech.

When asked what they want to improve, many learners say they want to speak English better, or speak more fluently.. This course explores how we can help them do this and includes a range of activities that focus on speech and fluency specifically.

You need to use English appropriately and confidently. This includes both having a strong grasp of the way the language works, and also using the right language at the right time. This course explains the kinds of language you should use.

Together this ensures you use English in the best way.
Finally you’ll learn how to apply this knowledge.
Most of all, you’ll see how idiom lessons can be fun and motivating as well as useful.
