Welcome!
You'll find all the content for our course here. Our goal together is to help you understand, speak and write better as you keep building on your English fluency.
This means learning new words and phrases from articles and videos, and also getting our brain more used to using them. It also means paying attention to verb forms and significantly reducing how many basic mistakes we make, especially when writing.
We'll meet each week in person mainly to create opportunities for you to practice speaking with other students.
We'll do formative evaluations that will help you prepare for our summative evaluations.
We'll work through four themes and a few key notions.
Here's our course outline.
