How to Study English Effectively

Wednesday, March 27, 3:00 – 4:30pm
Speaker: Greg Ladd, Director of International Admission, Director of Summer Language Institute, St. Thomas More School

Some students enjoy learning English for its own sake.   Others just want it as a tool so that they can learn to do what they love.  Either way, the language should be presented in a way that is interesting, relevant, and just a little above a student’s level.  The Longman Keystone series presents the vocabulary and topics in a way research has shown to be effective.  Greg Ladd from St. Thomas More School in Oakdale, CT will teach a sample lesson following a procedure that will help students not only learn the words, but use them correctly in different situations.  It will be a fun and engaging lesson that will give all students an opportunity to learn, perform in groups, and maybe even in front of the group.  Students who attend the seminar will leave with more confidence, materials, and a procedure that they can follow in their ESL or Academic classes.
