Beginner Level
In this 8-week course, students are expected to learn to read, spell, define, and use a robust set of vocabulary words to improve their expression. They will also learn to articulate what they think and feel more concisely using the vocabulary words they are working on. The class is 35 minutes. 5 minutes are introductory, and housekeeping and 30 minutes are for instruction. I adapt my teaching style according to the group. This is a full immersion with face-to-face interaction throughout the entirety of the course.
Learning Goals
It is expected that students, upon completion of this short course, will enhance their usage of larger words, increase their expression, articulate more definitively, and improve the speed at which they can choose robust vocabulary for sentences.
