Beginner Level
🌟Join me as we we discover the wonders of English through storytelling in an ongoing class where we will practise reading, speaking, and writing skills. 🌟Explore fascinating topics such as friends, jobs, our community, and pets in immersive style classes and learn everyday English expressions. 🌟Dive into exciting stories and decrypt the magical code of phonics! 🌟Apply new skills in hands-on, crafts and research projects! 🌟Each learner will receive personalized feedback and continuous support in class and out. Beginners will be guided step-by-step and advanced students will be challenged so everyone feels included and engaged. 🌟This is an inclusive classroom environment and learners are welcome to participate in any way they feel most comfortable. All learners are unique and bring their strengths into the classroom. 🌟Students are welcome to join at any time during the year. Lessons are modular. Learners will be provided with everything they need to thrive in class. 🌟 Lessons will typically entail a warm-up, pre-teaching, class discussion then practice. If learners are required to bring materials to the lesson, I will let the class know on the class notice board ahead of time. I have been teaching academic literacy for almost twenty years. Over the years I have had the opportunity to teach across the grade spectrum from kindergarten to university students. I believe that an inclusive and supportive classroom environment is important for learning that makes a difference. 23rd December - 3rd January Topic 1: At school Phonics: short a Key expressions: I can - expressions of ability Genre: realistic fiction Comprehension skills: finding key details Grammar and writing: Introduction to sentences English project: My Class Book 6th January - 17th January Topic 2: Where I live Phonics: short I Key expressions: Describing places Genre: Fantasy Comprehension skills: finding key details Grammar and writing: Word order English project: My Favourite Place 20th January - 31st January Topic 3: Our pets Phonics: l-blends Key expressions: Adjectives to describe pets Genre: Fantasy Comprehension skills: finding key details Grammar and writing: Statements English project: My Special Pet 3rd February - 14th February Topic 4: Let’s be friends Phonics: short o Key expressions: talking about fun activities Genre: Nonfiction Comprehension skills: finding key details Grammar and writing: Questions and exclamations English project: My Favorite Game/Sport 17th February - 28th February Topic 5: Let’s move Phonics: r-blends and s-blends Key expressions: Talking about how we can move Genre: Nonfiction Comprehension skills: finding key details Grammar and writing: Introduction to writing sentences English project: I Can Move!
