Would you like to improve your oral English?  An English teacher who has often taught oral English to Chinese will be offering a free in-person Oral English class to Chinese graduate students, scholars, spouses, and other adult family members this Spring (2026).  The aim of the class is to help your English sound more natural, as well as to give a good opportunity for practicing speaking.  We’ll study how the voice goes up and down in normal American expression (which helps carry the meaning).

​​​

​When:  Saturdays from February 7 through April 18 (2 weeks off for spring break) from 2:30-4:00 PM

​

Class sessions: Typically, class begins with a short general session for instruction, and then students pair up for oral practice. The first class will not only introduce the   

 course but also begin instruction and practice.

Since each class builds on the previous ones, it is important to come to each class.  This class is for those who are serious about improving their English and therefore will honor the professor’s request of sincerely planning to come to each class. 

​

Registration: Registration is now open. To register, email Iris at heswonderful@gmail.com. Please give your name and status at your university (Masters, PhD, scholar, post-doc, spouse, etc.).

 

Location: 

Wallace Presbyterian, 3725B Metzerott Rd., College Park (near UMD)  

The class meets in the “House at the Crossroads” to the left of the church building.  Parking is available just behind the House, and the door facing the parking lot is the one to use.
