In this course we will be looking at different architectural styles, current concerns in architecture, planning and building and also unpacking some of the trickier elements of English grammar.

We will work on building up vocabulary and increasing fluency, to feel comfortable communicating with colleagues, clients, suppliers and subcontractors.

We will be watching a number of videos on a wide range of subjects. Some of these videos will be harder to understand than others, certainly as a lot of the people speaking are not anglophone. However, you are not really learning English to speak to anglophones, so listening to a wide range of accents is very important to help you with communicating successfully in English.

It’s important that you always feel that what you're learning is relevant – it’s less important that you go through all the tasks systematically. I'm here on hand to answer any questions during our online lessons.

I look forward to working with you and discussing the intricacies of the English language based around contemporary architecture.
