創意對話

Join this fun and interesting class to build conversational skills on various topics! 

In this weekly class, we will have a pre-selected topic to discuss between the teacher and other learners. Ever wanted to discuss your favorite hobby? Thought about what your favorite memory is? Maybe you have wanted to have a conversation about deeper topics like how you can make a difference to humanity. This is the class for you where we will explore all of these topics and more. 

Since this is a discussion-based class, there will be no slides or lecture. I will initiate the weekly conversation prompt and give a few examples and allow the learners to join in with their ideas. Moderation will be provided by me to ensure that learners stay on topic for the week and that all content is appropriate per Outschool policy.

Although it is not necessary, it is perfectly fine to bring a notebook or journal into class to write down some of the thoughts that come to mind. This would be a nice keepsake from this class to look back on 10 years down the road. 

While holding a conversation is an important life skill, it is also a great way to develop critical thinking skills, patience, understanding of others' thoughts, and to really dig into a topic that may be of more interest. Both native speakers and non-native speakers are welcome. Please let me know if your learner is an English as a second language learner. 

Topics will be added as the class progresses. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me. I hope to see your learner in class!
