Students are required to bring their books and materials to class with them every time. The most important aspects of the class are to participate, be active, and speak English as much as possible. There is no substitute for effort and good attitude.

This class focuses on everyday English, so the English we will be using is for practical use. Daily conversation as well as introductions and discussions will be practiced in everyday English class. Students should gain the basics for using English in a common, typical situation. These situations could be asking for help, getting information, meeting a foreigner for the first time etc. It is an introductory course so the main goal will be to expose the students to these kinds of situations giving them a chance to get familiar and comfortable using English in these type situations.
