This course aims to help students improve their communication skills in English. Students will engage in group discussions and will give short speeches, presentations and performances to the class. The emphasis of the course is to provide the students with as many opportunities as possible to actively use English in order to develop skill and confidence in expressing their own opinions, ideas and feelings.

The objective of this course is for students to acquire expressive and effective use of the English language in conveying their ideas and thoughts, both orally and on paper. In addition, students will be able to build their vocabulary, learn conversational grammar patterns, and read with better comprehension.

These activities will give students opportunities to 'get used to' sharing their opinions with their classmates, and to gain confidence in expressing their ideas more freely, with emotions. Students are expected to participate actively and positively to make the course an enjoyable, creative experience for all.

Where appropriate students will be given homework (approx. 30 to 60 mins.) including reading assignments, writing assignments, some (Internet) research, and rehearsal for in-class speeches, presentations and performances.
