Learners will develop their ESL conversational skills which includes listening and comprehension as well as speaking in English. Learners will enhance their conversational fluency.

Assessments Offered
At the end of each class session, I will assess each learner's conversation, and I will give them no more than three suggestions to work on for the next class. Learning conversation can be overwhelming, so three new things to learn is the perfect number to keep learners excited rather than discouraged. At the end of the eight-week course, I will assess their CEFR levels.Grades Offered
Students need to keep their cameras and mics on, and be in a quiet environment to participate in the class conversation.
