In this "What Is That Animal?" class, students will learn a range of descriptive adjectives and animal-related vocabulary in English, enhancing their ability to describe and identify various animals accurately. They will also develop their conversational skills in English through interactive free talk sessions and games. This class aims to improve their pronunciation, sentence construction, and listening comprehension, all within the engaging context of learning about animals. By the end of the session, students will be more confident in using English to describe the natural world, making it an ideal learning experience for EAL students.
