COURSE DESCRIPTION

This class is for all levels, you will work with other students that are on the same level as you. Topics in this class will include:

Conversational English – use what you know to hold a conversation in English. Practice with other students, develop your word and sentence level literacy, pronunciation, and basic conversation skills.

Writing effectively – learn to write English. Develop well-structured sentences and paragraphs. Construct a five-paragraph essay by the end of class. (Useful for completing Praxis and TOEFL exams.)

Mastering the American Accent – express yourself with clarity, confidence, and accuracy. Perfect vowel and problematic consonant sounds. By learning how to stress syllables and link words correctly, students will achieve a more American-sounding speech.
