Class structure will build on students' prior knowledge of the English language.  Students will interact with each other by asking questions in English. I will teach using slides, screen shares for grammar/vocab practice and some games. My teaching style differs based on what students learn best from (visual, auditory or kinetic). Topics such as current events and typical cultural differences may also be covered via video/newspaper clips. 
Content will start with questions/sentence starters for students to be thinking about the content and responding to other participants. 
Topics covered will include:
Week 1: Review of beginning English basics: greetings, numbers, colors, weather, geography, prounouns, verbs and adjectives.
