What is the goal of your Pronunciation/Vocabulary class?
This class will help you improve your knowledge of English vocabulary by studying new words used in everyday conversation and academic work. You will learn to understand the meanings of these vocabulary items and how to use the expressions correctly in speaking and writing. You will also practice pronunciation of the sounds of English, as well as word stress, intonation, and other aspects of good pronunciation.
What will you do in class?
This will be a very active class. You will learn a lot of new words and practice dialogs using them. Then you will do lots of practice in pairs or small groups to help you learn to use them well.
