If you are an intermediate high or advanced low ESL student or are studying for the TOEFL exam, and are looking to improve your reading comprehension or speaking skills by increasing your vocabulary, this class is for you!
The course uses a structured approach to building vocabulary by using frequently used words in context. You will learn how to pronounce the vocabulary words correctly and identify the word part. You will be given abundant opportunities to practice the vocabulary with sentence check-ins and gap-filling activities. You might be assigned additional practice activities to be completed independently, and there will be a quiz after each unit.
