Transcription

C2: If I were to ask you orally that you’d prefer to prioritise the discussion dimension, getting by in everyday life, surviving, as I said earlier…

A15: Hmm

C2: not starving to death or, um, more immediately the oral aspect, which is linked to the fact that if you go abroad you’ll be taking courses and you’ll have to question- take questions from teachers or things < like

A15: um >

C2: what would tempt you most?

A15: erm rather erm courses erm conferences things like that

C2: yeah, so we’re clearly going to try to go for English for study purposes

A15: hmm

C2: with I’d say that would be my advice but we’re going to look at other possibilities < and then

A15: right >

C2: I think using the written word as you’re a student you’re used to reading books, that’s not what scares you. Using the written word can be a way of acquiring a little knowledge that will enable you to move on to oral communication more gently perhaps < but

A15: OK >
