♦ 1. A “Graded reader” is a book in English (usually well-known) at the student’s level of English which he / she can read for pleasure during the course.
♦ 2. The project referred to will be a large poster which students will have to design in groups to advertise their country. Items could include: Pictures, photos and maps (with labels), flags, recipes, facts & figures. It should give somebody a good impression of the students’ country, e.g. the people, food, climate, culture, famous people, history, sport, fashion. i.e. anything which teaches us something about that country and its people.
At the end of the first week, students will have
· ♦ studied all the main tenses in English
· ♦ greatly improved their vocabulary in topics such as food, holidays and jobs
· ♦ produced a wall poster of themselves and their country
· ♦ written a letter and email in English
· ♦ started reading a book in English and newspapers
· ♦ told a story in English
· ♦ learnt a lot about famous British people
· ♦ done role-plays in various common situations and places, such as restaurants and stations
· ♦ listened to Podcasts and made notes
· ♦ started to prepare a song (to be performed later)
· ♦ used English to describe videos
· ♦ completed worksheets on their trips to famous places, such as the British Museum
and Sherlock Holmes’ house
· ♦ learnt the rules of cricket and played some sport
· ♦ completed a test to check their progress
They will go on to learn more grammar and vocabulary, improve their skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening, go on more trips, and do more projects (e.g. song and drama performances).
This is a wonderful opportunity for any parent who wants their child to experience England and the English Language in a safe, warm and friendly environment.
