................................................................... 381 Course Design The Descriptions of the Course This course book, which requires at least 100 learning hours, is directed to everybody at intermediate level who wants to practice their spoken English. This book can be used by high schools, universities, language centers, English course learners and English speaking club members as a main course book for speaking. It is also suitable for employees, staff, teachers, employers or family members as a core handbook for English language practice or training or as a main source book for discussions during break times at work or leisure time at home. This book provides open-ended questions which may lead to non- stop speaking and covers very common daily topics which everyone is familiar with. The questions, which are intended to arouse learners to speak English, are also simple to answer for ordinary learners. They need practical ideas or knowledge but no deep academic or scientifi c knowledge is required. However, if the group of learners have more advanced knowledge about the topics and are interested to go deeper, there are also some possibilities provided for this. The Objectives of the Course a. To encourage learners to practice speaking. b. To give learners ample opportunities to speak English during their leisure times. c. To motivate students
