SIELI Listening and Speaking

This course prepares students to communicate successfully in English speaking environments, both academic/professional and social. Instruction focuses on improving listening skills, speaking skills, pronunciation, vocabulary, and the understanding and use of idioms and everyday speech acts. Students are expected to lead, shape, and share in class discussions based on readings and/or authentic and non-scripted listening materials, which examine a variety of topics in American culture and media. Students attend weekly sessions with an ESL Specialist in the Writing Center.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
