ABOUT YOU: This program is ideal for individuals with some experience in speaking English such as graduate and post doctoral students as well as long term visitors, working professionals and au pairs. Focused on improving your understanding of North American English, the process involves participants’ life experiences and first-hand exposure to US culture. This interactive learning approach makes classes challenging, engaging and fun! No text book is required.
ABOUT ME: My name is Mike Ward. Using my unique teaching methods in American English since 2006, I believe that conversation is the lifeblood of language. In my classes, you will speak conversational US English – all the time. Topics range from current events and cooking, to controversies and comedy. No subject is taboo because you – - the student – - will be a part of these conversations selecting topics and issues that are important to you.
COURSE HIGHLIGHTS: Spoken English (including the American accent), US Culture, slang, idioms and English grammar will be covered. In addition, students will help to design study courses specific to their needs and interests. Classes will feature a variety of guest speakers that will share their personal knowledge about specific aspects of American culture. Field trips to local sporting and cultural events will enhance the entire learning experience!
