Certificate in Spoken English for Global Communication

Duration: 3 Months


1. Program Overview

The 3-Month Spoken English for Global Communication Program is a beginner-level course designed to develop essential English speaking skills for everyday communication. This program focuses on building a strong foundation in spoken English, enabling learners to interact confidently in common social and real-life situations.

The course consists of 12 structured weekly modules, each designed to provide 10 hours of interactive learning through a combination of speaking practice, listening activities, role plays, and real-life communication exercises. The program follows a Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) approach, ensuring that learners actively use English in practical contexts rather than focusing only on theoretical knowledge.

Throughout the program, learners will develop the ability to use basic greetings, self-introductions, daily expressions, and simple sentence structures. They will also learn to ask and answer questions, describe people and places, and handle everyday communication tasks such as shopping, ordering food, and asking for directions.

Special emphasis is placed on pronunciation, fluency, and confidence-building, allowing learners to gradually overcome hesitation and communicate more naturally in English. The program also introduces learners to basic intercultural communication skills, helping them understand appropriate language use in different social contexts.

Assessment is conducted through continuous evaluation, speaking activities, and a final examination at the end of 12 modules. Upon successful completion, learners are awarded the Certificate in Spoken English for Global Communication, which reflects their ability to communicate at a CEFR A1 level.
