Proposal for improving foreign students’ language in order to pass exams Introduction The principal purpose of this report is to provide a description of the importance of helping foreign students to become more proficient in their oral language skills. Current situation I conducted interviews with random foreign students that have arrived recently. Most of the come here with proficient reading and listening skills, but they haven’t had much practice with speaking. Speaking is needed to integrate with other students and it also helps their studies. A possible speaking programme A speaking programme could encourage foreign students to integrate with native speakers. The programme should have regular session outside their academic study time, so they can practice without disregarding their obligations. Recommendations My recommendations for setting up a programme would be: - A professor should run the meetings - A series of topic to discuss each class which should be known before so they can prepare. - Foreign and native students should be invited to different activities to promote the integration such as parties, cinema trips and walks. Taking all the factors mentioned into account I strongly recommend implementing the programme as soon as possible.

Proposal for improving foreign students’ language in order to pass exams

Introduction
The principal purpose of this report is to provide a description of the importance of helping foreign students to become more proficient in their oral language skills.
Current situation
I conducted interviews with random (or: various) foreign students that who have arrived recently. Most of them come here with proficient reading and listening skills; but they haven’t had much practice with speaking. Speaking is needed to integrate with other students and it also helps their studies.
A possible speaking programme (just as a “for your information,” in the USA, we’d spell it program -- however, the Brits spell it this way so you’re completely correct)
A speaking programme could encourage foreign students to integrate with native speakers. The programme should have regular sessions outside their academic study time, so they can practice without disregarding their obligations.
Recommendations
My recommendations for setting up a programme would be:
- A professor should run the meetings
- A series of topics to discuss each class which should be known before so they can prepare. [This is ‘okay,’ however it may be a bit more clear if you wrote: “Topics know in advance of class will allow students the opportunity to prepare before they meet together.”  If you try to rewrite the sentence using the active voice, instead of the passive voice, its meaning may become more clear to you and the reader.]
- Foreign and native students should be invited to different activities to promote the language integration such as parties, cinema trips and walks.
Taking all the factors mentioned into account, I strongly recommend implementing the programme as soon as possible.

Nicely written Marek.  It sounds like a great idea to me!
