Upper-Intermediate, Advanced
This class builds speaking fluency, pronunciation, and presentation skills, with a strong focus on expanding vocabulary. Lessons are built around a central vocabulary list, and students learn where, how, and when to use each new word. To succeed, students build their own vocabulary lists and study independently outside class. Once they master these skills, they are ready for the next level.
Sample topics:
• Law and cybercrime
• Future technology
• Medicine and disease
• Design and creativity
• Discovery
• Pressure and stress
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
• Speak fluently and confidently about advanced topics such as law, technology, and medicine
• Use new vocabulary accurately and appropriately in discussions and presentations
• Pronounce English more clearly and naturally
• Organize and deliver group and individual presentations on complex topics
• Build and maintain a personal vocabulary list for independent study
• Take an active part in group discussions, role-plays, and vocabulary activities
• Choose and apply academic and topic-specific vocabulary effectively
• Pair work, group work, and role-plays
• Vocabulary quizzes
• Vocabulary review
• Homework assignments
• Group and individual presentations
Students receive feedback on their presentations throughout the session.
