Evening Classes for Practical Communication

Students in Seattle's Pioneer Square on a fieldtrip

The focus of these classes is on improving your ability to communicate effectively in English in social and workplace conversation as well as written correspondence. Lessons appropriate to your level will concentrate on accent reduction, listening skills, speaking, vocabulary-building, grammar and writing. Both textbook and authentic materials, such as recordings of situation-based dialogues, readings, film clips and radio broadcasts will be used. These are active classes, with lots of opportunity to practice and interact with the instructor.
