SPOKEN ENGLISH PROGRAMS

Many people have found that “classroom English” is very different from “conversational English” – they have trouble speaking even after years of study. We will help you learn how to communicate clearly outside of the classroom with our small, friendly and informal classes.

EACH OF OUR GENERAL SPEAKING CLASSES INCLUDES:

Conversation
Vocabulary Expansion
Listening Skills
Idioms in English
Pronunciation
Levels of Formality
Cultural Information
Grammar Rules (for lower level classes)
Field trips
Access to special events!

Our experienced teachers are interested in different cultures, and students come from all over the world. This makes our classes a great place to meet people from other countries and learn about American culture. Students can participate in field trips, extra-curricular activities and have opportunities to meet with conversation partners. They are also eligible to attend International House film and concert events and trips for free or at discounted rates.

Final class offerings each term are contingent on student interest and enrollment.
