What you’ll learn
- This course is designed for students at an A2 level (CEFR – Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)
- You will build confidence while learning to speak about a range of common topics.
- You will build implicit grammar knowledge and I will show you how to build answers to common questions.
- If you have basic knowledge of English but have not spent much time speaking, this course will help you ease into your first English conversations.
Through this course we will study a range of subjects to help students gain confidence and fluency in conversational English. This course covers vocabulary at the CEFR A2 level.
We will learn essential vocabulary and grammar to help students with their English skills. Subjects include:
Food – present simple.
Jobs – future tense.
Pets – possession.
Sports – abilities.
Free time – and and but.
Shopping – past tense.
Routines – adverbs of frequency.
Childhood – irregular past tense.
Family – negative statements.
Hometowns – things that exist.
Each lesson also has an accompanying vocabulary help sheet, to help students broaden their vocabulary and prepare for the lessons. This means that students can focus of the conversational aspects and think about their answers to the questions put forward.
Each lesson has a worksheet with additional homework tasks and exercises. This gives students a structured way to complete the lessons and additional work to help them to reach their goals. All answers to these worksheets can be found within the lessons or the worksheets, and example answers are given to help students form their free form answers.
We try to offer warm up exercises, vocabulary, grammar, structured practice, and free form practice. This is the same structure I would use in my classrooms when I teach English to my students. I have taught online and in schools and have over 10 years’ experience teaching, tutoring and coaching people to reach their goals. I am a qualified and certified TEFL teacher with my 120-hour TEFL qualification, and have had years of experience creating and delivering my own lessons.
I offer all students as close to a real classroom experience as possible and this structure will help to improve your learning experience. In addition, you will build implicit grammar knowledge as I model correct answers and worksheets to help reaffirm what has been discussed in the classroom.
Who this course is for:
- For those learners looking to gain confidence and fluency in conversational English.
