Cogent Conversation

Introduction

Many students know the concepts of English language but struggle to speak fluently as they lack practice. This course is for students who need a platform to practice their spoken English skills and need a supportive mentor to help identify mistakes and guide them. Practicing with fellow students also makes you confident and improves fluency helping you do well in a formal setup like study, interview, work or public speaking.

Course structure

Courses are held two / three days a week in a small group of 5 to 10 students and each class lasting approximately one hour. A conversational topic will be provided for each class and you are encouraged to use a range of vocabulary, phrases and sentence structures to deliberate upon that topic.

You will be grouped with students from similar skillset and can take these classes as long as you prefer. The more you practice, the better you become. We strongly encourage our students to practice for at least 3 months to start seeing the transformation.

In addition to the online classes, you also get access to more than hundred of pre-recorded videos which explain various concepts in an easy way. Additionally, you will also join group of our existing and previous students and practice your spoken English.

Teaching methodology

You will be provided a topic and led through different set ups like discussion in pairs, small group, large group or with the teacher and encouraged to speak at length. We will be using techniques like impromptu speaking, planning your speech, debating, conversational prompts, professional presentation, summarising, listening for details, rapid reading, reading comprehension and inferring information to help you become fluent.

Having a qualified teacher at hand ensures that you receive feedback on errors on the spot and know the correct usage. It helps you develop and improve as you go along.
