Improving Oral Fluency Program

Improving oral fluency

Improving Oral Fluency allows those with advanced English language skills to enhance their speaking and listening through group practice as well as through individualized feedback. For business people, students preparing for American universities and colleges, teachers or anyone wishing to improve his or her spoken English.

All participants must take a placement test on Registration Day in order to demonstrate the required advanced English proficiency. If your test results show high intermediate or lower proficiency, we will advise you to take the Intensive English Program instead.
