Question
Listen to two colleagues on a break at work. They talk about a course the woman is doing. Take notes about the following.
Answer
- a counselling course for speech therapists – basic counselling skills – guide people through psychological problems people have when they have a difficulty with speaking.
- very practical; some lectures and seminars about theory, but mainly practise with each other, tutor observes and gives feedback
- tutors are experienced and knowledgeable, clear, really good; students mostly get on; two guys aren’t as supportive as everyone else and can be a bit more critical in practice sessions
- a six-month course – an evening a week
- get a certificate for completing the course; have to attend 80% of the classes and do an assignment – a kind of diary of counselling sessions – and a bit of reading
