Course Description: This course is designed for low-beginning students in English as a Foreign language.
Course Objective: During this session students will develop their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills while exploring the following themes: the alphabet, greetings, numbers, personal information, classroom objects, personal items, cities and countries, clothing, colors, and weather. They will also explore grammatical topics such as the verb “to be”, possessive adjectives, articles, demonstratives, prepositions of place, and present continuous.
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.
