ORAL EXPRESSION / THIRD YEAR / SEMESTER SIX (Prof. TOULGUI LADI)

     Oral Expression is designed for third-year LMD students of English. It is expected
to familiarize students with the skills of oral/aural English Language composition. The
emphasis is on proficiency and fluency in oral productions.
     The purpose of this course is to basically initiate and eventually allow the students to acquire a general English proficiency, to develop their listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in personal and cultural, social, and educational contexts.
     Encouragement (in a bonus form) will be given to class participation in the forms of comments, questions, and discussion. Finally, the pedagogical aim of this course is to teach students the needed skills to foster their English learning through team-learning interaction.
