“Oral Expression in English” courses are devoted to improving students’ skills in speaking. Apart from the context of giving presentations, effective speaking involves effective listening, so the classwork and homework in these courses require that students engaged in speech and listening exercises.
Oral Expression in English 2, following the format of study of Oral Expression in English 1, has its specific focus on generating effective oral communication involving listening and speaking between pairs of speakers. Objectives also include using vocabulary and grammar introduced in the classes.
By the end of this course, students will be able to confidently discuss particular aspects of their lives and experiences in one-on-one conversations with people they have not met before.
