This fully online course will enable high intermediate learners of English to understand and speak English more accurately, confidently, and fluently. Each week, students will complete a unit of study based on a different conversation theme in the Summit 2 textbook (see text information below). Through textbook and online exercises, as well as weekly discussion boards and assignments, we will learn new vocabulary and idioms. We will also learn to listen for details and to summarize conversations that we hear in everyday situations. Students will complete these exercises independently, and we will practice each week’s conversation topics during our Zoom sessions on Wednesdays at 5:00 - 6:30 PM ET. I will also have office hours on Fridays 1-2 PM ET.

This is a two-part course. Registration is required separately for each part of the course.
