Course overview
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 topics such as: Taking risks; Giving opinions; Escapes; relationships and acting. There will also be an opportunity for learners to suggest topics for study and discussion. Areas of grammar will be: conditionals and future time clauses, (likely & probably); unreal conditionals; past modals, (would rather, had better); verbs of the senses. Vocabulary focus will be: expressions with ‘take’; feelings; verbs often confused and the body. Students will engage in a variety of activities, (e.g. games, role plays, songs, exercises, pair-group/group discussions, presentations, Q & A) aimed to help learners develop and deepen their mastery of the English language. The written assignment for the course will be to write about an opinion on a topic of choice. There will be an opportunity for learners to check their own progression through a summative assessment at the end of the course. Learners will need to bring their own notebooks and pens, but course materials will be provided.
