Goal 2. Speaking

The learner will comprehend spoken English in a variety of personal, social, and academic contexts.

Level: Intermediate High

Students will begin to use expanded vocabulary to participate effectively in social and academic conversations and presentations with occasional difficulty. They may continue to use forms of non-verbal communication to demonstrate comprehension, but will rely more upon verbal skills. Learning objectives focus on responding to questions spoken at normal speed, using expanded vocabulary for discourse, retelling text with less difficulty, using phonetic knowledge and structural analysis to decode words, using reference materials to understand unknown words in text, distinguishing between fact and opinion, reading self-selected texts independently, and following one-step and two-step directions.
