Teaching Conversational ESL

The goal of this course is for the student to speak English for the entire class
time. The teacher will make notes of errors and provide feedback during pauses
or the end of the class. However, more important than perfection is flowing
communication and confidence. The intermediate/advanced student is expected
to use a new idiom and vocabulary.


Before Class 1: Take the online survey.


Class 1:
  1. Greeting and General Things
  2. Identify what the student wants to focus on. Discuss their survey. The student can decide which grammar weaknesses they may want to improve.
  3. Speaking Basics
  4. Current Events
  5. The student can choose topics of interest for Class  2
(Topics + Conversational Questions + Discussion Topics).

Class 2: (Might be a little different based on the student’s individual survey)
  1. Greetings (Greeting and General Things II)
  2. Current Events
  3. Warm up/ grammar dialogue/pronunciation
  4. Student Topic conversation
  5. Teacher’s suggested reading/video and discussion (introducing new vocabulary)





Dialogues:
Shopping (Basic)
