Learning English as a Secondary Language: ESL for Kids Ages 5-7 (Tesol Teacher)
What's included
10 live meetings
6 hrs 40 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Every class, we will learn four to five (4-5) concepts related to the theme of the week. We will apply them in basic sentences based on the students' level. We will learn to answer basic questions about these concepts. We will also learn how to blend phonic sounds and read three- four-letter words. I will use Total Physical Response (TPR) and I will try to get my students to repeat the movement after me. Studies show that by doing this and engaging their bodies, young ESL learners understand and retain words much better. I will speak slowly and use movements and/or drawing to help my younger students understand. To make my lessons engaging, I will use Google Slides, toys, flashcards and realia. We will also play games and sing songs to make the class fun! My lessons are themed and each week, we will learn concepts related to that theme. WEEK 1: My Family WEEK 2: My Neighborhood and Friends WEEK 3: Fruits and Vegetables That I Like WEEK 4: What's Your Favorite Meal? WEEK 5: Let's Talk about Pets WEEK 6: Let's Go to the Farm WEEK 7: I Love My Body WEEK 8: How is the Weather? WEEK 9: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter WEEK 10: Transportation Students attending will get a printout of the concepts, target sentences, and sight words we are going to learn. They do not need to have spoken a lot of English before coming to the class but they should be able to say their name when asked.
Learning Goals
After ten weeks, the student would be able to answer basic questions. They should be able to understand basic questions too and use the keywords to answer. They should be able to read a few sight words and blend phonic sounds.

Parental Guidance
Some parental guidance is needed until the student is able to take the class confidently on their own. Young learners get shy so it would be nice for parents to stay with them for the first few weeks until they become comfortable. However, as per Outschool policy, parents must remain off-camera while providing parental supervision.
Language of Instruction
English
