This conversation course was divided into six weeks and its purpose was to prepare the students for their level five Trinity College English exams. Each class varied from between 1.5 – 2 hours in length.

The course went reasonably well with all the students passing their examinations. The main criticism I have for it is that the sessions were too long. If I teach a similar course in the future, I would like to restrict the sessions to one hour.
