Course objectives
Students will use this class to practise their English and improve in all of the four major skill groups: reading, writing, listening, and speaking, with the focus on the productive skills. Activities will vary from week to week.
At the beginning of the course students within a study group will decide on a topic for each class, and the activities will then be based on the particular topics.
As students are training to be teachers, they will be expected to take an active role in their own learning, with an eye toward understanding how to share information with their peers, and later their own students. In addition, students will be expected to work on evaluating their own level and that of their peers.
