The lessons on campus are meant to focus on practice and application of skills students have studied indepedently. The main focus will be on spoken activities and there will be very little lecturing by the teacher. It is therefore expected that students are able to attend the lessons on campus and are willing and ready to engage with other students in the course. Alternative tasks are not given for the on-campus lessons, except in very exceptional circumstances.
