ESL for Young Beginners: Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Comprehension

**This class is for beginner ESL learners only. This class is suitable for children just starting to learn English as a Second Language. They do not need to have prior English knowledge. This class is not suitable for native English speakers**

Welcome to ESL for Young Beginners!

During this twice-weekly class, we will cover English listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students will be introduced to the English language and will gain vocabulary, conversational skills, understanding, phonics knowledge to be able to read, and letter formation.

Each week is broken into two sections:
Lesson 1 will cover new vocabulary, listening and speaking skills.
Lesson 2 will focus on phonics, reading practice, letter formation, and comprehension.

I offer a fun, interactive, and lively approach to learning involving actions, songs, games, and lots of visual stimuli.

I have been teaching ESL online for 4 years now and prior to this qualified as a Primary school teacher. I am familiar with using props, TPR, error correction, and positive reinforcement. Most importantly, I am able to adjust my teaching style, planned activities, and lesson content to accommodate students abilities, needs, and understanding.

Each month we will focus on a different topic. We will start with All about me, covering greetings, family, numbers 1-10, and colours.

Here is week one's focus:
Lesson 1: Mondays or Tuesdays
This is me. Learning how to greet other students, asking and answering your name, age, and how you are today. 

Lesson 2: Wednesdays or Thursdays
The letter 's' and learning to read 'I am'. We will read a story together practising reading and comprehension.

A typical lesson 1 will go as follows:
Welcome song and greeting with movements
Introduction to the days topic and new vocabulary
Vocabulary game
Sentence practice
Printable Activity
Show and share
Goodbye

Lesson 2:
Welcome song and greeting with movements
Introduction to the days topic and letter
Practice phonetic sound and associated words e.g. s - snake / sock / sun / sad / star
Worksheet to practice s recognition and writing
Introduce sight words of the week
Read a story together - practising the sound and new sight words

Weekly printables are provided for students so that they are able to practice in between our lessons. These include vocabulary flashcards, the story, phonics and sight words activity, plus vocabulary activity.
