English Class

■Purpose:

　The purpose of this English course is to give students an opportunity to review and practice the English skills that they will need to successfully communicate in real world situations that they will encounter on their overseas research cruise, such as interacting with students from CMI, participating in the Majuro Symposium, and talking with other local people at destinations where English is spoken.

■Group Research:

Students will review/learn English expressions, grammar and vocabulary useful for communication and then work on interactive communication activities in pairs and small groups including discussions and role plays.

■Summary:

The focus of the lessons will be on developing fluency in English and practical communication skills. Students will practice successfully handling conversations for situations that they may encounter on their trip. They also will practice how to communicate their thoughts and opinions both on topics related to their personal interests and cultural topics, and how to politely respond to and exchange opinions with others. They will also practice asking for information and giving information and what to do when communication breakdowns occur.
