CONVERSATION CLASS

​

​

COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:

This  course designed to develop non-native speaker oral skills that are relevant to establishing and maintaining direct conversation and communication in daily life. The course focuses on a range of skillsets, including improving listening comprehension, participating in class discussions, understanding conversational strategies, giving group presentations, asking and answering questions, interacting effectively with friends, and improving through self-evaluation of speech. Specifically, this course seeks to:

1. Explore strategies for communicating effectively in a variety of academic and social situations, e.g., expressing an opinion, agreeing/disagreeing, asking for clarification, interrupting, etc.

2. Establish the most common conversational rules and expectations for maintaining a conversation in English, while also establishing students’ ability to repair communication breakdowns using specific strategies.

3. Rethink conversation as a give and take relationship, where one speaks but one must also listen in an active and concerted way.
