Class Experience

The learners get to choose the question of their choice and have 30-60 seconds to think about their response. They will be given...
Students will be able to focus on specific conversation topics, answer questions orally on topic, listen to other student responses and respond appropriately and on-topic as well. We will build conversational skills such as being an active listener, respecting the speaker and waiting our turn to speak.
