Class Experience:
This class is designed to be highly interactive and engaging for students, with a mix of instructional activities, group discussions, and practical exercises. Each lesson will begin with a brief lecture to introduce key concepts, followed by guided activities such as role-playing, small group discussions, and hands-on practice to reinforce the material. Throughout the course, learners will watch short videos that demonstrate real-world applications of each topic, from dining etiquette to communication strategies.

We will also dedicate time for reflection and Q&A sessions, allowing students to share personal experiences and ask questions in a comfortable, supportive environment. In addition, students will be encouraged to practice their skills at home or in real-world scenarios, with the opportunity to share their progress during the class.

Teaching will be student-centered, using a combination of visual, auditory (listening-based), and interactive (hands-on) learning methods to cater to different learning styles. Students will leave each class with practical tools to immediately apply to their daily lives, whether it’s in social settings, at the dinner table, or when navigating online spaces.

This course provides a dynamic, positive, and respectful environment where every learner will feel supported in developing into a more thoughtful and confident individual.
