Learning objectives
The course focusses on reading, speaking and listening skills. The students are encouraged to develop reading comprehension skills. This is done using dental texts and conditions. These go hand in hand with the Listening programme which consolidates the texts, while developing listening skills through a series of dental videos. Transcripts of the videos are included. During lessons students are asked questions and encouraged to speak.
