More conversation: We agreed that we would like small groups of students to discuss a particular topic each week.
Students feel it would be good to have groups of 4-5 students at small tables.
Will also add vocabulary and concentrate on pronunciation practice. Chris will provide new vocab each week, and students would like to create sentences and practice speaking these sentences.
Audio: They also wanted more audio - Ventures will provide that dimension. Also suggest students go to VOICE OF AMERICA ESL site which has text, video, and audio.
