Teaching Method

Outline:

This course focuses on English conversation strategies and confidence building. Students will make the English they have learned from previous classes come alive in its spoken form.

Style:

This class will spend two weeks on each textbook unit. English practice in the first week will focus on useful vocabulary and grammar for making English conversations about the unit topic. Then, the students will practice making English conversations. The next week will include a short vocabulary and grammar review, followed by listening activities and more English conversation practice. After 3 units have been taught over six weeks, each seventh week will include a speaking test. Written vocabulary and grammar tests will be given as mid-term exams.

Notice:

Active participation in English is essential for completing this course successfully. Students who do not stay focused and those who are more than 10 minutes late for class may be counted absent.
