This five-day intensive course is designed for students looking for a forum that will allow them
to speak English on a wide array of topics. It will be student-centered and (very) active
participation will be expected. The general daily format is discussion/debate with presentations at
the end of the day. Aside from general fluency, other areas that will be addressed include: critical
thinking skills, presentation skills, listening skills, and vocabulary building. If you are looking for a
fun but challenging class, this may be what you are looking for.
By the end of this course, students will be able to speak for several minutes by themselves or in dialogues on a range of topics, paying attention to their own pronunciation issues.
