This is a MIXED Skills course - Don't sign up expecting just to practice speaking, you might be asked to write photo excerpts, listen to short lectures or prepare presentations.

This course will be based on Input-Practice-Feedback style teaching:-

Input classes: Here you'll be introduced to one of the basic techniques of photography via a short lecture, a reading worksheet, a discovery activity or a guest speaker.
Practice classes:  Here you'll get a chance to practice the skill introduced in an input session.  You might be asked to digitally edit photos, set up a photo shoot, prepare an oral presentation or make photos for a poster presentation.  This work might be solo, in pairs or small groups.
Feedback:  Here you'll be assessed on your performances (both language and photographic!).  You’ll be asked to prepare for and judge photo competitions, or explain certain photo skills via poster/presentations.

On this course you'll have the opportunity to: -
Learn basic photographic skills
Learn how to talk about photos and photography in English
Practice Speaking, Reading, Writing and Listening Skills using Photography and Photos as the theme
