Course Outline

• Why is English important?

• We will improve on the English you already know.

• We will try different situations to practice English.

• Speaking is no.1, but also reading, listening and

grammar are needed to improve.

• Speaking is the best way to communicate abroad,

with foreigners, and in a work environment.

Spoken English I/II

This course will help students build confidence

in speaking English.

Now is the time to skill up and communicate

with your friends and people around the world.

We will study real English for real situations

(e.g. restaurants, shops, travel, parties,

etc.).

We can develop our ideas and build

relationships by increasing opportunities to

use new phrases and vocabulary.
