In this class, students will explore parts of the American culture that are often ignored. Through field trips, discussions and guided activities, students will learn about American culture from health clubs to local businesses and corporations. In this class, students will be guided in a variety of vocabulary building exercises and activities. Emphasis will be placed upon learning strategies which the students will take with them from the classroom. This course will help students to improve listening, speaking, conversation and presentation skills in a public setting.
Students develop, present and teach several short lessons at a local elementary school.
Class sessions are devoted to guest speakers, techniques, and preparation. Field trips and observations of real speeches enhance in-class work.
