Course objectives
Students will use this class to practice their English and mainly develop their vocabulary by studying issues such as idioms, proverbs, similes, collocations, etc. Activities will vary from week to week. As students are training to be teachers, they will be expected to take an active role in their own learning, with an eye toward understanding how to share information with their peers, and later their own students.At the end of the course students will be able to understand and explain English idioms, similes, proverbs, etc. They will be able to prepare a vocabulary exercise and present it and teach it to their peers, which will be good preparation for them in the future teaching careers.
