Learn English Through TV Drama Series: Adrift at FutureLearn Course details
- Build on your language knowledge by watching and studying the television drama Adrift
- This series focuses on instruction and adjacency pairs, which will help you develop the main building blocks of conversation
- Many conversations can be made up of two speakers taking turns, with the second speaker often using a contextual response to a question
- Look at the different types of adjacency pairs in the English language to learn the context of these action-based conversations, such as invitations, compliments, and apologies
- Learn about using insert and pre-expansions; ways that you can gain more information before or during adjacency pairs
- Conditional sentences can take many different forms, but they're all usually used to express the consequence of a hypothetical scenario
- Building on your knowledge of the first conditional from the first course in this ExpertTrack, you'll investigate both the second, third, and mixed conditionals
- This will allow you to discuss hypothetical situations in the present or future, as well as alternate outcomes of past situations
