Spoken English

Olivet School has great pleasure in offering class-room instruction on a recorded course in Spoken English, designed by BBC London for the benefit of learners with limited time at their disposal.

The recorded course and the accompanying text, satisfies all needs of Spoken English - Functional Grammar,  Vocabulary, Pronunciation and Conversational Practice.  Recorded drills and oral exercises supplement the corresponding lessons in the course.

The course emphasizes conversation practice with sufficient exercises in speech functions.  It also teaches briefly the principles and practices of public-speaking; offers practical guidance in correct etiquette and manners;  teaches the phonetic alphabet; guides learners in facing interviews and group discussions and trains them in voice culture.

The participants are expected to possess a fair knowledge of English.  The course  would be ideally suited for graduates who have done their high school in the vernacular medium or possess an equivalent knowledge of English.

Forthcoming sessions will commence on a regular bi-monthly basis.
