Course Overview
This course is designed to create a strong base for you to confidently express simple ideas.
Unlike courses that focus solely on grammar or communication, this BEAR course integrates both language and communication through practical learning. At this stage, students are not expected to produce perfect sentences; instead, your goal is to have a clear understanding of the basics and use any skills to express your thoughts.
What will you learn?
In this class, you will master the basics of English grammar through carefully designed conversation activities. You will practice talking about your habits, future plans and goals, and expressing emotions and ideas in more details. The course will expose you to a variety of common expressions, and encourage you to expand your view on the meaning of communication skills. By the end of 12 lessons, you will gain confidence using all resources you have available to exchange ideas with other students and the teacher.
