The goal of this course is to help you increase your English vocabulary, become more fluent in speaking and improve your pronunciation. The courses are designed to give you the confidence you need to carry conversation in English more comfortably.
These courses are for those who already have learned some English, but would like to enhance their speaking abilities and who are at an intermediate to upper intermediate level.
The theme vocabulary words, sentences to repeat and many highlighted expressions in this course will appear written on screen for your convenience. Also, included are may pictures and images to help you visualize these new concepts. Also, by listening carefully to how I speak, you can learn how to speak English more naturally.
When I taught in a classroom environment, my students would often listen to my explanations of the course topic and notice that when I expressed myself, I used many words and expressions that came naturally for a native English speaker. More often than not, it would be terms that they have never heard or seen before in a class curriculum. As a result, they had more fun learning from the way I spoke, than from the textbook lesson itself.
So in this course, I went back and picked out certain terms that came naturally to me and then I prepared an Added Value Glossary. You can use the glossary to pick out those words in the lectures, study their meaning and then observe how I use them in a sentence.
So this course really has depth and linguistic richness!
