ESL High Intermediate/Advanced: New Words And Expressions With Media *In-Person*

In this course, we discover new words and expressions in context by listening to and reading online media from a variety of sources such as TED Talks, news publications, YouTube, blogs, biographies, history topics, podcasts, even songs, and more. With each topic and media item, you have the opportunity to speak with others to develop your fluency, listen to others, and ask questions. Bring your notebook, and be ready to listen, read, ask questions, and practice speaking! You’re welcome to suggest a topic idea and media! Steve will also send everyone a file transfer with lots of resources for expressions, words, and links to websites to practice listening and reading. Get ready for a fun-filled, action-packed adventure into the wild world of words and expressions! Never a dull moment!

“We must have a way to say just what it is we want to say in just the right way.”
“Place your personal attitude towards what you are saying onto the words themselves.”
"Everything you say has an underlying message that is not part of the words themselves. Are you communicating that message when you speak?"
“We build communication strength by focusing on finer and more subtle communication points, improving message content, communicating confidence, developing nonverbal communication skills, and getting to the point.”

Steve can answer all your questions - from how to improve your communication for meetings and presentations to grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary usage.
