Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6

Intermediate Level

In this English language focused class, students will play video games together. Usually Fortnite or Minecraft. The main focus is on improving the students English level, as well as how to communicate effectively. My role in the class is to support the group, teach some grammar, lexis and pronunciation, as well as correct repetitive errors, be them behavioural, communicative, or language based errors.

Week 1 - Minecraft
Week 2 - Fortnite
Week 3 - Minecraft 
Week 4 - Fortnite 

These games can encourage students to build skills like collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and systems thinking.

Learning Goals

1. Understand complex and extended speech used in the discussion of reasonably familiar subjects

2. Communicate with some spontaneity and engage in extended conversation by giving clear descriptions and expressing and explaining views on most general subjects

3. Initiate, maintain and end the discourse with effective turn-taking

4. Demonstrate a sufficient range of language to produce stretches of discourse, using some complex sentence forms and without much searching for words, while correcting most of his or her mistakes.
