CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH CIRCLES
Speaking and listening are
closely correlated with reading and writing, both in the way that we
learn, and in the way we relate to others.
Conversational English Circles
will provide English Language Learners with opportunities for language
practice in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Practicing listening and
speaking skills will help students be more engaged in their experience
at MCC. Students will build confidence and feel more fluent when
participating in class discussions, asking questions, and writing
essays.
The Conversational Circles
will focus on everyday topics, incorporating fun activities to promote
cross-cultural exchange and help students build a social network. We
will explore the idiosyncrasies of the English language and learn idioms
and expressions so that students can increase their confidence and
comprehension. The primary focus will be on discussions that take place
in the ESL and writing classrooms, with an eye toward helping students
write better, clearer papers, but will also include everyday
conversational scenarios.
When: Fridays 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. beginning June 14th, 2013
Where: MCC South Omaha Campus Writing Center, Connector Building, Room
