The primary aim of this course is to teach techniques of oral communication and improve the listening and speaking ability of the students. Students will listen to English spoken at natural speed in a variety of real-life situations and will be taught how to express themselves in such situations accurately and in a clear and logical way.
The goal is for students to be able to listen to and understand English spoken at natural speed and then answer questions about the spoken texts or give a summary of what they have heard in their own words in a clear and logical manner. In this way it is hoped that the students will overcome their fears and inhibitions about speaking English and will be able to express themselves effectively and confidently in a variety of real-life situations. The students should also be able to give a presentation of a few minutes expressing their opinion clearly on a given topic.
