The English Language Center plans to resume in-person classes for the Fall term beginning in August 2021. All students attending classes in-person must be fully vaccinated, unless Georgetown has granted them a medical or religious exemption from the COVID-19 vaccination requirement. We will continue to monitor public health guidelines to ensure full safety and compliance. For more information, please refer to Georgetown’s resource page on COVID-19 vaccines.
American Conversational English is a two-week online course that enables you to practice conversational English with other participants in structured speaking activities led by an experienced instructor in the Intensive English Program at Georgetown University. A typical classroom lesson will include:
an introduction to common discussion strategies, such as offering an opinion, asking for clarification, and agreeing and disagreeing
structured practice sessions to use these strategies in pairs and small groups
stimulating topics of interest, including current events, social issues, culture, politics, and more
instructor feedback on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation in each class
YouTube, audio recordings, and online tools for grammar and vocabulary will provide support for some activities
The program takes place Monday–Friday, from July 19–30 for 90 minutes each day. Choose one session to fit your schedule:
9:00 a.m.–10:30 a.m. or
6:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m. EST
