It's OK if your English isn't great, but you MUST TALK Every DAY or you will fail the class.
English grammar is not graded in this class.
You must come to class with your own preparation (notes).

Nowadays, more and more job interviews include English speaking sections, which are not simple talking but group discussions on important topics. This class prepares you for that. Many of you seek jobs where the ability to negotiate, to bargain, and to argue for your company are important assets. Additionally, critical thinking and research skills are important for office workers who are more than just "mindless clerks." You will develop those skills in this class.
