Seneca's ESL Speaking English courses provide you with the opportunity to expand your speaking skills. You will develop spoken fluency and accuracy using conversational grammar in general everyday situations, including reacting and responding within a Canadian cultural context. Conversational grammar learned in each class is given meaning through guided practice and interaction with other students. This promotes and supports additional, valuable and highly transferable communicative skills, such as listening, observing, decision making and understanding, which will allow you to have meaningful, dynamic conversations both inside and outside of the classroom.
