The Conversational English Program Curriculum

The majority of students at Sias must fulfill a 2-year Conversational English requirement as part of their degree plan. Students fulfilling this requirement must take both Freshman and Sophomore Conversational English.

The Converstational English Program Curriculum is composed of a set of global goals and a series of 8 units, each composed of specific goals and objectives intended to guide classroom instruction. Units 1-4 are covered in the freshman year, while units 5-8 are covered in the sophomore year. The focus of the 8 units is on helping the students to develop communicative competence in spoken English to be able to effectively and appropriately socialize on campus, interact in small group opinion-based conversations, relay information and share experiences through story-telling, and successfully perform in job interviews.

Lesson Planning and Resources

Teachers are provided with a unit description for each of the units they teach, specifying what should be focused on in each week’s lessons. Teachers also receive a copy of the student textbook for the course as well as a pronunciation book to use as resources for lesson planning. Finally, all Conversational English faculty members are invited to join a private wiki that was developed specifically to facilitate collaboration among the faculty and to assist teachers in sharing lesson planning ideas and resources.
