English in Use: Shifting from the learning of the “what?” to the process of the “how?”
A major part of our training program is devoted to practice and performance. Our goal is not only for our trainees to properly enunciate English and to master grammatical structures, but to also be extensively trained on using their English in real life situations.  Intensive practice sessions serve to achieve this goal by polishing the trainees’ native tongue efficiency and normalizing their use of everyday language as if they were actually living in an English-speaking country.

Course Outline :

Conversation I

Do you avoid talking to Native speakers of English? Are you shy from speaking English in front of others? Do you usually speak your native language outside of work? Can you not find someone to practice spoken English with? This class is for intermediate-level students who want to become more comfortable and fluent in conversational English. 
Our methodology is focused on presenting interesting and practical topics for learning vocabulary and everyday expressions the way you hear them in conversation, not the way you studied English in traditional textbooks. There will be lots of “talk time” for individual practice.

Conversation II

In this class, individuals will continue working on expressing themselves in colloquial English, with a focus on vocabulary development and idiomatic language. 

There will be more discussion time on interesting topics with ample practice time for individuals, and emphasis will be on developing and extending conversation.

Conversation III

Participants will discuss current events (news topics from the newspaper, internet, radio, or TV) and areas of interest to the group, with emphasis on idioms. Students will take turns leading discussion groups and presenting material and holding debates. This level will concentrate more on idiomatic expression.
