Advanced ESL Conversation provides a safe environment to discuss a wide range of topics among classmates. We focus on developing our conversation skills by interviewing colleagues, asking questions, and giving clear responses. We will explore several subjects so we will get practice disagreeing with each other in a polite, civil manner. We will often share advice, make lists of suggestions, and have homework assignments. Brave volunteers can also give short oral reports to the class. All students are expected to participate in conversation activities and group discussions.
