In this ongoing course, learners will learn new vocabulary each week amounting to over 4000 words over the full course. This course is perfect for boosting your word power! 

Why learn words?
Vocabulary is key to comprehension. Learners cannot understand what they are reading or hearing without knowing what most of the words mean. As children learn to read and engage in more advanced texts and conversations, they must learn the meaning of new words that are not part of their oral vocabulary.

What will the classes entail?
Each class comes with activity sheets to be completed during and after class. The vocabulary for this course will be taught in numerous ways including through a story text. These stories are often fables or traditional tales. They will help to put the vocabulary into context. Learners are encouraged to read the story before each class so they come to class ready to learn! During each class, learners will use the vocabulary in various speaking and writing activities. Learners are welcome to post their completed work to the classroom. Classes are interactive and our teaching style is dynamic and engaging. 

What's your teaching style?
We are a team of experienced teachers who are calm, patient and supportive whilst ensuring that the children are constantly learning. The environment will be dynamic and learners will actively participate throughout the class. As experienced teachers, we are capable of adapting my style to suit the learners. 

How much will learners get to interact with you and each other?
Students will be active participants throughout each class.  Student talk time is expected to be significantly higher than teacher talk time. 

What kind of class is this?
This is an ongoing live class. This class meets once a week for 35 minutes. Learners will be encouraged to speak to the teacher, in pairs and individually. Learners will complete some of the activity sheets in the class.
