Advanced English for Academic & Specific Purposes: TOEFL & Colloquial English Mastery
Welcome to my ESL (English as a Second Language) class! This course is designed to help non-native English speakers improve their communication skills. Our focus will be on speaking, pronunciation, listening, and practical application of the language.
Throughout this course, you will engage in various activities that are tailored towards improving your speaking abilities. We understand that conversing in a foreign language can be daunting but we aim to create an environment where everyone feels comfortable and confident to express themselves. This course also includes pronunciation exercises aimed at helping you articulate your thoughts and ideas with precision and clarity.
In addition to speaking and pronunciation, this class emphasizes developing listening skills. We will utilize audiovisual materials such as films, recordings, and podcasts so you may develop an ear for the nuances of spoken English.
We understand that mastering a language involves more than theoretical knowledge. As such, this class places a premium on practical applications of the English language through group discussions, role-playing exercises, presentations and more.
By the end of this class, we hope that you will have developed more confidence in your ability to communicate effectively in English both orally and in writing. Join us today!

About Brian G.
I am an experienced English teacher and language tutor. I hold a Master's in Linguistics and TESOL from Ball State University as well as a Bachelor's in English from Indiana University.
I specialize in rhetoric and academic writing, English as a Second Language, and foreign language instruction/tutoring in Spanish, German, and Indonesian.
Writing students who work with me learn about the composition process, effective grammar and usage, as well as stylistic considerations. Because I focus on academic writing, I help students to navigate the world of scholarly research and journals, a necessary skill whether in a secondary or high education setting.
Language students who study with me can expect to focus heavily on communicative skills, e.g., speaking and writing, along with intense practice in listening and reading.
My overall goal as a teacher is help students become better learners, giving them the tools to be confident writers and researchers as well as proficient users of their target language(s).
