Course Description

 

Morning Course:

This course will help you develop and use all the basic language skills you need to live in an English speaking country. We will continue focusing on building your confidence when speaking, and will help you gain skills in understanding oral English. You will have lots of opportunities to practice these skills in class, and will be directed to use them outside the class to test your proficiency with native English speakers.

 

Afternoon Course:

This course is for high beginning/low-intermediate students who want to practice and solidify their listening, speaking and pronunciation skills. This course will focus on helping you develop better skills to communicate your feelings and ideas to others and to discuss common issues in our society. The purpose of the course is to encourage you to express yourself naturally in real-life contexts, and to help you understand some cultural aspects of North American society.
