Free Oral English Class

Would you like to improve your oral English this summer?  An English teacher who has often taught oral English to Chinese is offering a free Oral English class to Chinese students, scholars, spouses, and other adult family members.  The aim of the class is to help your English sound more natural, as well as to give a good opportunity for practicing speaking.   You can choose either an in-person class on Friday afternoons, or an online class on Saturday afternoons.  


These courses cover the same basic content; just delivered in different formats. So please choose the one that works the best for you. 


This class is designed for intermediate level English students. 


In-person option: 


When:  Friday afternoons, June 3 through July 22 from 2:30-4 PM
