English for Non-Native Professionals Series: The Art of Conversation (COM 34)
The ability to communicate ideas effectively continually ranks at the top of the list of skills needed by business people, engineers, and other professionals. This series of advanced English courses gives non-native speakers the chance to identify and practice the essential speaking and writing skills needed in professional settings.
This course focuses on developing effective conversation skills and is geared toward non-native speakers of English who nonetheless have significant experience with the language. We will focus on advanced interaction skills to help the participants become more effective in areas including narration, description, negotiation, hypothesizing, and supporting opinions. Special emphasis will be placed on interactive listening, accuracy, and overall intelligibility. Activities include storytelling, interviews, and panel discussions.
Please note: This is an advanced-level English as a Second Language course.
