Course Description: This course is designed for beginning students in English as a Foreign language.
Course Objective: During this session students will enhance their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while exploring the following themes: food and restaurants, world geography, leisure time activities, and plans and hopes for the future. They will also explore grammatical topics such as “so,too,neither and either”, comparative and superlative forms of adjectives, and verb tenses.
Approach: Language is a creative and constantly evolving tool for communication. It is best acquired when a communicative and cooperative approach is taken with a focus on forms, dynamic activities, technology integration, and ample student practice time.
Methodology: We highly encourageample task-oriented practice time in pairs, trios and groups as well as the use of eclectic methodologies to enhance student learning.
