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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will you learn?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this class, you will master the basics of English grammar through carefully designed conversation activities. You will practice talking about your abilities, politely asking for permission, making requests, providing ideas, and refusing invitations through the auxiliary can and could. 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.<\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4>Outline<\/h4>\n<table dir=\"ltr\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-baot=\"1\">\n<colgroup>\n<col width=\"78\" \/>\n<col width=\"152\" \/>\n<col width=\"459\" \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Unit<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Date<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Unit description<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">1<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">February 19, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Orientation &amp; Auxiliary Verb [can] (affirmative and negative forms) Ability<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">2<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">February 26, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Ability \u2013 Auxiliary Verb [can] (interrogative form)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">3<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">March 5, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Quantifiers \u2013 &#8220;How much, not at all, a little, some(thing), enough, a lot&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">4<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">March\u00a012, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Permission \/ Request \/ Favor \u2013 Auxiliary Verb [can] <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">5<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">March 19, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Pronouns \u2013 &#8220;nothing, anything, something, everything&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">6<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">March 26, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Past Ability \u2013 Auxiliary Verb [could] (interrogative form) Past Ability<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">7<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">April 2, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Adverbs &#8220;fast, well, almost etc&#8221;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">8<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">April 9, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Polite Requests \u2013 Auxiliary Verb [could]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">9<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">April 16, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Providing Ideas Politely \u2013 Auxiliary Verb [could]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">10<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">April 23, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Polite Refusal \u2013 Auxiliary Verb [could]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">11<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">April 30, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Potential Probability \u2013 Auxiliary Verbs [can, could]<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">12<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\">May 14, 2026<\/td>\n<td>Review &amp; Test<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This trial course runs from Thursday, February 19th, 2026 (20:00 \u2013 21:30 JST) \u00a0 Course Overview This course is designed<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9198,"template":"","course-category":[55],"course-tag":[],"class_list":["post-9234","courses","type-courses","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","course-category-trial"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/courses\/9234","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/courses"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/courses"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/courses\/9234\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9255,"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/courses\/9234\/revisions\/9255"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9198"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9234"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"course-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course-category?post=9234"},{"taxonomy":"course-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bearteaching.com\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/course-tag?post=9234"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
