English communication skills. Become a more confident and successful communicator
From 41.64 C$ /h
Improve your ability to confidently and successfully communicate in English.
This means not only building grammar and vocabulary but also developing communication skills and strategies.
Many courses focus only on linguistic competence (grammar exercises), but communication involves so many other competences, including discourse competence (structuring and connecting your ideas); sociolinguistic and pragmatic competence (politeness strategies; using tact to discuss difficult situations; influencing; persuading etc); and strategic competence (using strategies to help maintain clear and fluent communication when you don ́t know the ideal way to express your ideas).
I also specialise in listening skills and strategies, such as developing phonological awareness to help develop your ability to process fast speech.
Other specialisms include pronunciation, with objective to help not only clear and fluent speech, but to aid listening ability too.
