Aprendamos inglés: curso diario de conversación para principiantes con la profesora Helen - Serie 1

Over this 5-week FLEX course, we will practise and develop their speaking through a variety of daily tasks. This class is aimed at beginners of English to develop their fluency, broaden their use of vocabulary, improve pronunciation and confidence too. 

Each week will include:
5 short videos with the teacher sharing the vocabulary and modelling pronunciation and use. 
5 sentence starter sheets that display the vocabulary items to try to use in their recording. 

Here are the topics of vocabulary that will be covered each week:
Week 1 - colours, parts of the body, verbs
Week 2 - shapes, numbers, times, in the classroom, at school
Week 3 - family and friends, clothes, describing people  
Week 4 - food and drink, days, months, daily routine
Week 5 - the house, toys, playtime

Here is more information about the course: 
It is intended that each learner watches and engages with a short video with the teacher through Q+A and pronunciation drilling containing around 15-20 words each day along with the relevant activities linked to those vocabulary items. It is estimated that learners spend 10 minutes each day preparing their speaking and recording an audio clip or short video file to post to the classroom.

Learners will:
✔️ Upload their completed recordings to the classroom each day
✔️ The teacher and other learners will comment on them. 

Some of the course is designed to build on previous learning to assist with retention. It is advisable for learners to revise previous days vocabulary to ensure they are retaining the new words. 

Please note, this is a FLEX class and there is no face-to-face meeting each week. This course is designed to complement my other courses such as Learn English and Make Friends and Learn English Through Reading. 

It is intended that each learner watches and engages with a short video with the teacher through Q+A. It is estimated that learners spend 20-30 minutes each day preparing their speaking and recording an audio clip or short video file to post to the classroom.
Speaking tasks may include:
🔹Repeat After Me
🔹Say What You See
🔹Match and Say

Prior knowledge required:
Learners should be able to identify the letters of the alphabet and write simple words with them. Learners should have some basic phonic knowledge and will be sounding out words as this will be useful for this course. 

A flex course allows learners to cover material during a time that is convenient for them each week.  Students are encouraged to check in with the teacher weekly via the Outschool classroom, which will allow for more engagement between the teacher and learner.  After weekly lessons, students can collaborate with their peers by replying to the announcements and lesson postings in the Outschool classroom.

Participation will include the Introduction post, discussion posts, assignments, and projects in the Classroom. This allows students to process what they are learning by collaborating with peers and the teacher.  Participation in assignments allows students to practise and reinforce learning.  This also provides opportunities for the teacher to gauge student learning and provide interventions if necessary.  Private messages or classroom comments are usually responded to within 24 hours with the exception of Saturdays and Sundays.

The videos will be available for the length of the course. 

This course is taught by Teacher Helen.

We look forward to being part of your learning journey!
