ESL Low Advanced

This is a lower advanced level English class in which students will build upon the listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills introduced in ESL Low and High Intermediate. Students will explore complex topics such as relationships, careers, current events, culture, travel, and personal and global problems. They will learn and apply new strategies for reading and vocabulary comprehension with authentic texts, use advanced grammar structures in speaking and writing, and write multi-paragraph texts with complex sentences. They will also practice conversational skills such as telling anecdotal stores, interrupting, and turn-taking. Ultimately, students will complete an interview-based research project in which they explore a topic of interest through conversation and writing.
