For participants at the beginner and intermediate level, coursework will include intensive practice of the basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. There will also be formal grammar study at the appropriate level and pace, and exercises in vocabulary building.
For participants with more advanced English skills, coursework will include, in addition to assigned readings and exercises, oral presentation and short writing projects. Reading and writing coursework explores topics of interest to participants. Computer lab time is scheduled, and students are offered instruction in creating presentations, web pages, and doing web-based research.
