Course Description

Bridge the gap between everyday English and professional fluency.

This course focuses on your ability to deconstruct complex arguments—from news reports to technical discussions—and respond with spontaneous, well-structured speech. You will master the art of persuasion by using advanced discourse markers to organize your thoughts, allowing you to narrate events with depth and articulate opinions with logical reasoning.
