This course is designed for beginner to intermediate ESL students who need to develop better listening comprehension and speaking skills, which will primarily be achieved by detailed instructions on pronunciation and the use of suitable words. The course focuses on a range of skill sets, including improving listening comprehension, participating in class discussions, understanding conversational strategies, asking and answering questions, interacting effectively with native speakers, and improving through self-evaluation of speech. Videos from Discovery Education are included in every unit throughout the course to introduce topics, promote discussion and motivate learners. The videos provide a new angle on a wide range of academic subjects.
