Listening/Speaking Course Levels and Topics
English Language Programs

Washington University in St. Louis

Most of the English Language Programs’ listening/speaking courses presume an advanced level of fluency in English and vary not in terms of proficiency level, but rather in terms of their focus on specialized skills (e.g., pronunciation, oral presentations) or topics (e.g., movies, current events). Before enrolling in any of the specialized courses shown in the bottom row below, a student must demonstrate the appropriate level of fluency OR must complete as many courses as necessary from the top two rows to bring his/her fluency to the appropriate level. Contact the ELP staff at 935-5910 if you have questions about choosing an appropriate course.
