English as an Additional Language students build on the oral/aural communication skills encountered within an academic/professional environment. Students develop their skills and strategies to participate in and lead discussions, take notes on academic lectures, and make formal presentations that incorporates research. Students become familiar with the sound system in English in order to improve their pronunciation and increase their comprehension of spoken English.
