Advanced English Conversation & Writing Course
Our advanced English conversation course is designed for students who have completed the Intermediate English Course and for students who have knowledge of most English language concepts who are working towards fluency. The class will meet online and focus on conversation training, vocabulary recall and advanced pronunciation techniques. Students will be required to complete studies between live online classes in the form of essays, writing and grammar tasks and industry-specific terminology.
Accent Reduction Classes & Pronunciation Training
The accent reduction classes are designed to remove unwanted sounds and heavy accents for advanced English speakers. The benefits of our students have been both professional and personal. Having high quality conversations can highly depend on using the right terminology, knowing idoms and possessing proficient vocabulary recall. We understand that skills come through repletion, but those skills must be applied to real life situations for students to learn at a higher level.
The Principle of Language Skill Application
Our instructors use the principle of skill application in their weekly sessions as they teach live online sessions introducing new lanuguage concepts and common speech improvements. Time spent between online classes will be used to complete tasks, coordinated study and exercises designed to apply the skills into regular practice. Students that take advantage of the time between classes can excel and learn at a faster pace than normal.
Introduction to the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) assists students in identifying sounds of English. Unlike many international languages, English is a stress based language and students learn proper stress in classroom practice with English conversation lessons as well as assignments outside the classroom.
