Conversation Courses

Course Description

Skills Academy

The goal of Skills Academy Conversation Course Program is to provide students with instruction in and practice speaking and understanding conversational English in a small-group setting with classmates who are at approximately the same level of English proficiency.  Our maximum class size for this program is 12 students, so our teachers are able to personalize instruction to meet the needs of each individual student.  In our Conversation Courses, students have the opportunity to discuss topics related to personal interests and current events.

Levels of English Proficiency

Conversation Courses are open to students from High Beginner to Advanced levels.  New students are placed in an appropriate class based on a written placement test and an oral sample.   

Material

Each teacher will assess the goals and language level of a particular Conversation group before selecting materials. Classes will focus on improving conversational ability while emphasizing listening comprehension skills, the proper use of English grammar, vocabulary development, common idiom usage, and practice in pronunciation and intonation. Conversation teachers will tap the vast resources of the Internet to engage and instruct students in reading and listening to English, summarizing and retelling stories, and presenting information and ideas orally.
