BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Have you ever tried Japanese bread? In this class in Cambridge, you will learn how to bake Japanese bread using ingredients available in the UK.
Japanese bread is fluffy and moist because it contains a lot of water. This makes the baking process slightly different from that for UK bread.
Let’s enjoy baking tasty, gorgeous Japanese bread!
On the day we will bake:
Oven-baked vegetarian curry bread x 6 buns (savoury)
The menu for this class is the hugely popular Japanese snack “Curry bread.”
The traditional curry bread is deep-fried, but we will be making a healthier version of curry bread by baking it in the oven. Oven-baked curry bread is also easier to make than deep frying, so this recipe is recommended for beginners as well.
During the class, you will learn how to make an easy spicy curry filling (vegetarian). Then, you’ll wrap the filling inside fluffy bread dough, coat it with bread crumbs, and bake it in the oven. By the end of the class, you’ll have a delicious and satisfying oven-baked curry bread to enjoy!
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE NEEDED?
None. This course is suitable for beginners or anyone interested in making Japanese style bread
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Learn the basics of kneading bread dough
- Learn the appropriate amount of ingredients
- Determination of proper fermentation state of bread
- Learn how to bake various variations of bread
- Learn Japanese culture
EXTRA COST ON THE COURSE
Ingredients included in the cost of the course.

・A bag or a container to take your bread home

Course details
Our English for work courses are suitable for learners where English is not their first language.
This course is aimed at learners who have a good intermediate level of English but, because of limited English ability, struggle with certain aspects of their jobs, or even to get a job.
This course is taught online. To participate in online classes you will need an email address, a reliable internet connection, a computer/laptop/tablet with fully updated browser (preferably Google Chrome).
You will need to attend the online course on both days – Wednesday and Thursday at the specified time.
You will gain confidence, improve your listening and written and spoken English. These skills will improve your chances of gaining employment, or to move up into a job with better pay and prospects. Part of the course will be based on the needs of individual learners; and this will be discussed in the first lesson. You will also learn about UK work culture, how it may differ from other countries, and the course will answer some of the questions you might have about the differences between your way of life and what you see around you in the UK.
Your English skills will define the jobs you can apply for in the UK, and improving those skills will help, not only in this country, but will greatly improve your employability and promotion prospects should you later return to your home country.
Poor English skills can have serious consequences – from language misunderstandings that can cause the loss of money or angry clients, to constant embarrassment at not being able to chat with clients and colleagues in a social context or even over lunch! You may be seen as unfriendly, or rude, which is also not good for your career.
The course is funded per term; you may find, as most learners do, that you will need more than one term to be prepared for any higher level courses or future exams (if you choose to enter for them). If this is the case you will be offered the opportunity to re-enrol and pay for another term (or if still available we may be able to fund you again)
This course is funded through Cambridgeshire Skills: See funding eligibility below:
If you are 19 or over, have lived in an EU country for 3 or more years and are at the right level, full funding is available. You will need to supply proof of identity and full attendance is required; you will also need to complete an enrolment form so that the office can apply for the funding and complete an individual learning plan weekly with your tutor.
If you are not eligible for funding but would benefit from the course, you can attend by paying a tuition fee of £280 per 10 week term.
Previous Experience and Knowledge Needed?
If you have not recently passed the PET exam, an assessment test will be needed for placement purposes. To book an appointment, call the office on 01223 712340 or email office@adultlearning.education
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
- expand your vocabulary on topic-based lexical areas
- put new vocabulary into practice and develop your ability to ‘build’ new words adding prefixes and suffixes
- continue to practise ‘fine-tuning’ of pronunciation of difficult sounds and use appropriate rhythm and intonation
- talk and read about up-to-date stimulating topics (e.g. advertising, business, cities, science), using the key words and necessary phrases,
- revise your knowledge of main grammar structures and learn more sophisticated structures (e.g. clauses of contrast and purpose, uncountable and plural nouns, quantifiers, articles)
- improve accuracy as well as develop your fluency in the speaking activities
- practise your listening skills, being exposed to motivating, challenging but achievable listening tasks, listening to authentic and colloquial spoken language
- improve your knowledge of British culture, history, trends and values
- improve all the skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing, with the focus on building the skills that are most useful in the workplace and in searching for work

Brief Description:
Have you ever wanted to try Pilates but you were not exactly sure what it involved and whether it would be suitable for you? Pilates is a form of exercise which concentrates on strengthening the body with an emphasis on core strength. This helps to improve general fitness and overall well-being.
Similar to Yoga, Pilates concentrates on posture, balance and flexibility. In Pilates the chance of injury is much lower than with other more strenuous forms of exercise.
Pilates also focuses on the mind-body connection and breathing.
Pilates was invented by Joseph Pilates as an exercise program for injured dancers and soldiers while living in the UK. Joseph Pilates believed that physical and mental health were closely connected.
Beginner level exercises will help you improve posture, mobility, muscular strength and breathing technique. Each session will aim to build and develop from the previous session. This workout is designed to help you develop leaner, longer-looking muscles, establish core strength and stability and heighten mind-body awareness. Class numbers are limited which gives you an opportunity to interact and be corrected by your tutor.
Because Pilates can be modified to provide either a gentle strength training program or a challenging workout, most people would have no problem with this form of exercise. It is suitable both for beginners and for people who already exercise regularly.
As listed above, the health benefits include:
Good posture – Pilates will teach you to gain and maintain good posture. The exercises require that your body is always in alignment. This is especially beneficial if you suffer from lower back pain.
Muscle Tone – the exercises involve the use of muscles that you may not use on a daily basis. After the initial soreness, you’ll find that your muscles will become more toned.
Stronger abdominal muscles – Pilates focuses on strengthening your core which includes your abdominal muscles.
Flexibility – Pilates will increase your flexibility
Improves your balance – through the mind-body connection which is taught in Pilates you will become much more aware of how your body moves and performs. Therefore Pilates not only improves your physical balance through correct posture but will also restore your mind-body balance.
Gives you a general sense of well-being – because Pilates focuses on providing balance between your mind and body it gives you an overall sense of well-being.
Please note no classes: 24th May (Mili away) and 31st May (half term)
Previous Experience and Knowledge Needed?
This is a beginners course, however some learners may have been attending a while. A small amount of fitness and ability would be beneficial. If you are unsure, contact the office on 01223 712340
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, you will have the opportunity to:
Enhance body awareness
Improve muscle strength
Learn breathing technique
Improve posture
For the first session you will need to bring:
Please bring a mat, a towel and a small cushion. Please also bring comfortable clothing that you can move in, trainers, socks and a bottle of water.
On completion of this course, what might your next steps be?
Continue in the following term.

Tutor
Hannah FranicevicMy name is Hannah Franicevic I am from New Zealand and now live in Cambridge. My background lies in dance where I have trained and danced as contemporary and jazz dancer for the last 21 years. Through dance I found yoga which has helped me build and really focus on alignment and mobility to support a healthy body. In New Zealand I taught yoga at a bootcamp studio working with people just starting their fitness journey, changing paths in their fitness journey to focus more on flexibility and fully established yogis who enjoyed the variety and progressions in my classes. Working with this group of ex-rugby players, new mums, bodybuilders, runners and more in my class has enabled me to encapsulate all these different needs within one session whilst providing a welcoming and relaxing environment.
