Students will be assessed on regularly scheduled oral and written quizzes, and a comprehensive exam at the end of the course orally and written.
A short conversation with each student will be taped at the end of each week to assess the student's progress. Conversation is the main focus using all the components of grammar, listening, reading, repetitious fluency exercises, basic vocabulary and basic writing skills. At the end of the course students will be able to speak, listen, read and write at a survival and basic level. |
