The overall theme will be a student centered approach, that builds on the ideas from English Workshop 1. Personal motivation and goals will be discussed. Each student will create their English learning goals for the course, and for their immediate future.

The course will focus on why we study a language, and what are our motivations. The first classes will talk about this, and short term goals will be discussed. Students will work in small groups and in pairs to do projects, skits, speeches, and round table discussion. Moodle will be used to view video clips and various internet resources, and as a place to comment on various topics that the class will be working on.

It is hoped that by the end of the course students have a increased fluency, and strong motivation to continue their study of English.

The class will have a relaxed and easygoing style. The goal is to both learn and enjoy the process. Students will engage in skits, pair work, and presentations. Work will be done both in class, and on the university Moodle web page.
