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 and peer interaction. At this stage, students are not expected to produce perfect sentences; instead, your goal is to develop a clear understanding of the basics and use any skills to express your thoughts. In this course, you will interact with students of various backgrounds and levels, providing great examples and challenges in your peer interaction. After all, every student has different strengths and weaknesses. The more you interact with others, the faster your skills will grow.
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 yourself, other people, places, and things using everyday vocabulary and basic “verb to be” grammar. 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.
