Students will participate in approximately three hours of class time weekly.  In addition, they will meet with their instructor for regular tutorials to work on presentation skills and pronunciation.  Our courses are designed to help students gain confidence in speaking English in an academic setting.  Courses focus on improving fluency, accuracy, pronunciation, and vocabulary.  Students participate in a variety of communicative activities including recorded presentations.

All graduate students enrolled in our program meet once a week for an hour with an American undergraduate for conversation practice and to learn about American culture. In groups of two or three, students have the opportunity to practice informal conversation with native speakers.

The Summer Workshop is a six week intensive program for students who have not passed the POPT during their first year at Princeton.  Throughout the program, students work on presentation and discussion skills, pronunciation, listening comprehension, vocabulary, and oral grammar.

The six-week program begins in June and runs through mid-July.  Students who complete the program can retake the POPT in early September.
