GGLC-I

This 11-week intermediate ESL course helps students improve speaking, reading, and discussion skills through real-world news articles from the Breaking News English website. Each week focuses on a different keyword (sleep, fitness, technology, weather, shopping, food & cooking, vacations, celebrities, travel, sports, hobbies & free time), with students reading aloud an assigned article, receiving pronunciation feedback, and leading a conversation using discussion questions. The instructor provides corrections and guidance, helping learners build fluency, expand vocabulary, and discuss topics confidently. Perfect for students who want to practice English in a structured yet engaging way! [syllablus] Breaking News English offers a variety of personal study opportunities to pursue outside of class time:
