English Conversation Workshop - Intermediate level (Online)
(520034)
From Apr 27th to Jul 20th, 2019
Saturday 14:30 to 17:00, room 3G.3 Classroom
Group number S19-520034


Prerequisite: Be able to read and identify with the following sentence, or have taken an intermediate English course or reached level 4 at the Center for Training and Development:

I am able to understand most of a conversation when I hear the language spoken. I cannot understand very well when people speak quickly. I can hold a conversation, but I make many mistakes when I speak and I have difficulty expressing complex ideas because I do not have the vocabulary and I am missing some of the grammatical rules. If I have followed any regular English courses at the CTD, I must have completed level 4 in order to enroll in this course.

Overall Goals:
  1. This course aims to give students at the intermediate level the opportunity to improve and practise their speaking and comprehension skills and to enrich their vocabulary.

  2. Through role-play and group discussions, students will be able to gain confidence as English speakers. Emphasis will be placed on speaking and listening skills, and particular attention will be paid to the enrichment of both vocabulary and idiomatic expressions.

  3. The topics and subjects chosen are related to the workplace, the environment, the news, education, culture, health, and relationships. The course focuses on refining the skills already acquired.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

By the end of this course, students will be able to:
  • Expressing opinions, tastes, and preferences (current affairs, culture, society)
  • Giving advice and making suggestions
  • Expressing hopes, desires, and goals
  • Talking about past events, their countries of origin, their families, and past experiences

Methodology:

A variety of learning techniques such as role-play and discussions will be used to develop oral fluency.

Required Material:
  • Headphones and an external microphone
  • High-speed stable internet connection
