Please check the information below for a reminder of the day and time of your course and to view details of the textbook to purchase. Please note that whilst ideally you should obtain a copy of the textbook for the first lesson, don’t worry if this is not possible as your teacher will make provisions to ensure you can follow along without it during the first session. All textbooks should be available from the University branch of Waterstone’s (the higher of the two branches on Saddler Street in Durham City), or available to purchase elsewhere (including online).
Your course will be delivered using a video conferencing/teaching platform such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom (for the latter, you will need to have downloaded Zoom). We recommend that you use Google Chrome or Edge (chromium) as your Internet browser and that you sign into the session a few minutes early, ensuring that any other software applications that may access your microphone and/or camera are turned off as they may conflict. Language learning requires commitment to self-study as well as regular attendance; online courses will often require preparing in advance in addition to practice exercises to consolidate in-class tuition.

All confirmed Language Development courses start week commencing Monday 10th October 2022.
