Program Courses:
Focus on the colloquial and authentic language used in a variety of situations, including living arrangements, business associates, personal relationships, and the informal conversation of daily interactions.
Practical, real life situations are used to help learners improve their social skills by learning the language of invitations, compliments, and casual encounters.
Students are individually assessed to isolate the most frequent pronunciation errors and then , through in-class exercises, they learn to modify their speech.
This class integrates all skills - vocabulary, reading, writing, listening, and speaking activities to help students collect their thoughts individually and then express those thoughts in both small and large group discussion.
Especially designed for students who want practice with skills in socializing, telephoning, presenting, taking part in meetings, and negotiating. Includes key phrases and idioms, targeted vocabulary, and case studies.
In addition to answering students most frequently asked questions about how the test is administered, this course reviews academic skills such as note-taking, paraphrasing, summarizing and synthesizing while offering students an opportunity to practice the test.
This course examines some of the historical and cultural events of America and uses them as points of discussion for understanding U.S. attitudes and values.
