Special Focus Workshops
Pronunciation Workshop
Our Pronunciation Workshop Offers an intensive study
of pronunciation involving the use of the phonetic alphabet
of American English, tongue placement of English consonants
and vowels, word stress and intonation patterns. Students
will practice pronunciation in real-life conversations
and in a language lab under the guidance and tutelage
of their instructor. Focus is on producing clear speech
and eliminating specific pronunciation problems that
are common in their native language.
The Conversation Corner
The Conversation Corner provides an opportunity to
help students improve their self-confidence, and develop
their conversation strengths and increase their fluency
in English. The main focus is on the student's ability
to express themselves in everyday situations by means
of group discussions, interviews, role-playing, and
class presentations. Students will have the opportunity
to use their newly learned pronunciation skills, vocabulary,
and idioms in real-life situations. They will receive
valuable individualized feedback on grammar and pronunciation
errors.
Writing Workshop
Writing in a second language can be a difficult task!
Here we will explore some ways to make writing easier
and prepare students for the required ESL writing courses.
The Writing Workshop provides an opportunity to help
students improve their writing skills and master the
foundations of good writing from short writing tasks
to reports and essays. Using conversation topics and
listening and reading materials as input for writing,
students acquire the skills to communicate effectively
and accurately in written English. Students will maintain
a portfolio of work demonstrating their progress.
