Course Description

Morning:

This course will focus on developing your fluency and accuracy abilities. Since you should have a good foundation in general English skills by the time you enter this course, this course will extend your communicative competence further, refining your usage of the language. You will have many opportunities to carry out communicative tasks that require an exchange of information and negotiation of meaning. In addition, you will extend your oral and grammatical skills, and will have a lot of opportunities to practice them in authentic communicative contexts.

Afternoon:

This course is designed to help you reach a level of competence that will allow you to interact with a variety of more challenging, sophisticated current topics. You will have lots of opportunities to study a topic and react and respond to it and to your classmates. You will discuss the topics that native English adults like to discuss with each other, and will be given the skills and knowledge needed to effectively participate in such discussions in the real world.
