English for Communication
Our English for Communication course was designed especially for speakers of other languages who need additional communication practice in English as a second language. As such, it can be added as an elective to the Intensive English Program by F-1 students, or it can be taken as a stand-alone by local learners who are not constrained by a full course load requirement.
Available at the intermediate, high intermediate, and advanced levels, instruction includes:
-
practical vocabulary and idioms;
-
pronunciation skill development;
-
speaking activities: discussions, role play, conversation practice and oral presentations;
-
reading for everyday needs, entertainment, and information;
-
writing skills for personal and practical purposes: notes, memos, letters, and editing for grammatical correctness;
-
listening skills for everyday needs: video and audio tapes;
-
grammar and usage for everyday needs;
-
activities emphasizing the cultural aspects of everyday communication;
-
and computer-assisted instruction.
