This course improves pronunciation skills through diagnosis of student's pronunciation problems and development of self monitoring strategies. Each student receives a tutorial every other week for a half hour. Students who are teaching assistants make an oral presentation at the end of the semester which is evaluated by MEI instructors. This is an advanced writing course especially for students who have a good command of English but who need to improve their formal writing skills. Students develop their ability to write research reports in their fields, using American structural conventions.
Students review grammar and learn to edit and proofread their work.
The focus of 007 is on developing both fluency and accuracy in written English. In this course, students improve English listening and speaking skills through a variety of communication activities including participating in discussions and making oral presentations. Communication in both formal and informal, academic and social and workplace settings are practiced. Students attend tutorial sessions with the instructor to work on individual pronunciation problems. Comments and questions may be directed to Linda Sahin .
