To help students develop their English speaking skills for a variety of common conversational situations. Students will develop skills in speaking, listening, reading, and writing, as well ask methods for strategies for overcoming misunderstandings (circumlocution techniques). Students’ final scores will depend on two tests (a mid-term test and a final test) as well as in-class participation.
Outline:
Use of textbook and conversations with native speaker as well as testing.
Style:
Generally the text will comprise a bulk of the class work, but supplementary materials will be used at each teacher's discretion.
Notice:
Grades will be based 80% from test scores and 20% from participation in classroom activities.
