The Intensive Speaking Course focuses on improving your spoken English in professional, academic, and social settings. We focus on developing the skills you need to deliver professional presentations on various subjects, respond quickly and succinctly to any follow-up questions, and engage confidently in conversations of all types.

Our books and materials have been developed specifically for the needs of our clients. Error correction and specific feedback on your speaking will push you to improve. Our research-based instruction and skill-based curriculum will quickly lead to a noticeable increase in your spoken English. This course is for students who can speak at an Intermediate, or B1 level of English. 

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

• participate in group discussions about a familiar topic with connections to the wider world.

• speak about a given topic for 45 seconds.

• respond to questions in a professional interview relating to an economic, political, or international issue.

• give rebuttals to the opposing teams’ arguments in a debate.

Students will accurately use basic and more academic vocabulary to talk about both familiar and more complex topics related to the wider world although vocabulary use will occasionally be imprecise or repetitive.

• Students will be able to restate their ideas using different vocabulary in the case of a break-down in communication.

Students will be able to give a well-paced and intelligible response that may contain minor pauses and mispronunciations that do not result in lack of clarity.

When speaking about familiar topics and more academic topics, students will be able to provide a relevant, organized, and coherent response although at times it may lack some specificity or elaboration and relationships between ideas may not be immediately clear.
