English Oral Communication

Students will focus on speaking (vocabulary development and pronunciation) and listening skills.

Some writing and grammar will be included. An interactive approach will be used to involve students in conversations, and the small class size (approximately 12-15 students) and supportive environment will ensure that everyone has the opportunity to develop their communication skills.

Four levels are offered: From Beginner (1) to Advanced (4)

English Written Communication and Grammar

Students will focus on improving their English writing and grammar and will practice by writing a wide variety of documents.  These include workplace documents such as email and letters as well as personal journals and opinion articles. 

The overall goal is to improve the students’ confidence in their own writing by practicing as much as possible, learning self-correction techniques, and developing a stronger foundation of good written English.  

Three levels are offered: From Low-intermediate (2) to Advanced (4) Students who are beginners must study English Oral Communication prior to English Written Communication and Grammar
