Entry Level ESOL: Everyday English Pre-Intermediate

In this five-week ESOL course, (English for Speakers of Other Languages), learners will practice their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills through the topics of: Holidays; Moments in history; Pop of the past; a story of suspense; travel and perceptions (optimism vs pessimism). Areas of grammar will be: past simple regular and irregular verbs; past continuous; questions with and without auxiliaries; so, because, but, although; going to, present continuous for future arrangements; will/won’t for predictions. Vocabulary will centre around holidays, prepositions of time and place (in, at, on), question words, pop music, verb phrases, phrases using look, opposite verbs. Students will engage in pair work, games, written and verbal exercises. There will also be a written assignment in which learners will write about a favourite photo using a given example as scaffolding. There will be a summative assessment at the end to help learners gauge their own progress and develop a degree of autonomy in their learning. It is hoped that learners will progress to the next course in the series upon successful completion.
