Outline and objectives

This is an elective course that will provide students with the opportunity to develop their oral communication skills from a pre-intermediate level.
Students will be encouraged to discuss contemporary issues related to current world events and future changes in technology and society. Additional activities will include pronunciation and use of rhythm and intonation to assist oral communication.

Goal

Students will practice skills needed to make effective use of their voices to achieve more natural communication. Students will also practice speaking in "ideas" rather than words. The course will use TED Talks and current news articles to enable students become more effective and proficient in English.
