Entry Level ESOL: Everyday English Elementary

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: Introductions; family; famous paintings; Dictionary entries and definitions; travelling. Areas of grammar will be: Tense review and question formation; present simple; present continuous; defining relative clauses. Vocabulary will centre around common verb phrases, classroom language, family, personality adjectives, the body, prepositions of place, expressions for paraphrasing: like, for example, etc. Students will engage in pair work, games, written and verbal exercises. There will also be a written assignment in which learners will write an email introducing themselves 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.
