US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner Level
In this class, learners will learn to speak English through interactive lessons, with fun games, role playing, and time for free talk. I use TPR (total physical response) In my classes so the even younger kids can enjoy being active at times throughout the course. This class is immersive, so in general, only English will be spoken. I do speak Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, so I can speak to students who speak those languages. However, my goal is to encourage the student to speak in the target language (English) as much as possible.
