Our Online ESL Program Description
Our Online ESL program includes 5 areas of language competency that are vital for effective communication:
1) Vocabulary Building
2) Grammar
3) Speaking / Listening
4) Pronunciation
5) Writing / Reading
Vocabulary Building
Students will be exposed to new vocabulary in context (rather than in isolated word lists that have no meaning or connections to their world). Our specifically designed gap-fill exercises will allow students practice the new vocabulary in different contexts and broaden their understanding of the words’ meaning range.
Grammar
Students will review advanced level grammar which will allow them to improve their written and spoken accuracy. This will help them function more efficiently and feel more secure in their everyday communication.
Speaking / Listening
Utilizing a variety of classroom speaking activities will help students speak and listen effectively using the new vocabulary and grammatical structures and increase their communication skills.
All speaking exercises that include role-plays, presentations and discussions recreate real life scenarios.
Pronunciation
Students will identify their pronunciation difficulties and increase their accuracy in producing more native-like American English. The class will also focus on reducing students’ foreign accent, improving the speech rhythm, intonation and stress in conversational English.
Writing / Reading
Reading helps students to see how English is communicated through writing, which is why a good writer is also a good reader. Students will have special reading comprehension activities in the classroom that will help them understand the words in written context, while enabling them to get the most out of their reading assignments.
Students will analyze the text, practice and improve their writing skills in various writing assignments that include email messages, letters, and essays, while reviewing and correcting necessary grammar and vocabulary.
