Program summary

English LIVE is a language learning program designed to train attendees in applied English communication. In addition to strengthening English comprehension and conversation skills, English LIVE offers training in communication skills relevant to students and working professionals, such as public speaking and presentation skills, effective communication strategies and communication etiquette.

New concepts and training introduced in each session are immediately applied through role play, debates, panel discussions and public speaking exercises designed to develop creative and critical thinking skills and challenge participants to use their language skills. Through this process of instruction, review and application participants gain proficiency in their command of written and spoken English, and gain confidence to use their English communication skills in their academics, social life and career.

English Live is taught by native English speakers to ensure correct grammar and accent.

Get Involved

The material presented in the Start Early course is structured and organized, and enables the participants to understand the concepts clearly. I like the fact that the course is fun and interactive, unlike other workshops that rely only on theory. Educators and parents need to come to workshops like this.
