Course overview

This is the fourth course of six, aimed at elementary (A1/A2) level learners. This six-week course is for those whose first language is NOT English and will practice all four major skills in each session to develop reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Although this is a low-level English course, learners should be able to recognise sounds of the English letters and read simple lines of text prior to joining so that they would not struggle. Lessons will be delivered face-to-face using a range of teacher led and freer interactive activities to build learners’ proficiency and confidence in the English language.

Course description

In this six-week ESOL course, (English for Speakers of Other Languages) learners will practice their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills through the topics of: houses, houses of interest, neighbours and London. Grammar will focus on: there is/ there are, there was/ there were, present continuous, present simple vs present continuous. Vocabulary will focus on: buying a present, houses and furniture, prepositions of place, verb phrases and places in a city. Functional English will include role playing buying a present. Learners will engage in a range of activities including pair work, groupwork, games, written and verbal exercises. There will also be a written assignment in which learners will write a report of a holiday using an example for scaffolding. It is hoped that learners will progress to the next course in the series upon successful completion.
