ENGL 205-206 enables intermediate learners of English to understand and speak English more accurately, confidently, and fluently. Each week, students meet via Zoom to  practice skills and engage in interactive conversations, which students prepare for through textbook and online exercises. Weekly discussion boards will provide an opportunity to engage with peers, using the vocabulary and conversation strategies presented in each unit.  Students complete one unit each week, learning new vocabulary and idioms in the context of theme-based oral exercises, conversation models, pair-work activities, and listening texts. In addition, students learn strategies to improve accents, rhythm, intonation, and stress patterns. Students deliver oral presentations and share them with their classmates through the course web site and weekly meetings on Zoom.
