I’ll show you. By taking the online course I am currently developing, called American English: Scenario Practice.
Here’s a description of the Scenario Practice course. The course exposes English learners to typical realistic business and social situations where a swift command of English will aid communication and social fluency. Scenarios in this course are chosen because they are known to be substantially different from other countries’ styles of interaction. This class is meant to be highly interactive, while at the same time hugely informative and easily applicable to common business and social functions.
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be expected to:
- Know how how to conduct him/herself in the business and social situations addressed in this course
- Be more comfortable with speaking to Americans they do not know
- Be more conversationally versatile and less timid in social and business circumstances
Scenario Practice was originally designed as an in-person role play course, but I am adapting it for online instruction, using videos and audio/video discussion boards in lieu of face-to-face practice. I’ll post a link to it when there’s more to show, so, have patience! It’ll be great fun, and you’ll all want to enroll, I just know it.
