Description
|
This course continues from Speaking for Everyday Situations A & B. This course teaches students how to communicate in contexts outside university classrooms or company meeting rooms. The focus will be to develop students’ fluency when discussing everyday topics and performing everyday tasks. The teacher will also instruct students on how native speakers adapt and organize their language depending on who they are speaking to. Students can expect to spend the majority of class-time speaking to classmates and the teacher.
