GINUE Centre | English for Teens Course Descriptions
English for Teens Course aim The aim of our teens courses is to help your child become a better communicator in English. We develop your child’s skills and language they need to speak and write in English clearly and meaningfully. These are skills that your child can transfer to give them a competitive edge in their studies in mainstream school and later in life to help gain access to crucial gateways of work and further studies. Each lesson will involve most of the above features and will usually have the following pattern. Sometimes, we emphasise one layer more than another in a lesson depending on students needs and interests at the time. •
First layer: Building context, interest, ideas and vocabulary
•
Middle layer: A short burst of motivating language-focusing activities which get students thinking more consciously about how the language works
•
Last layer: The communicative task involving speaking and / or writing in English
Levels Teens 1 The course is for ten to twelve year olds who have a solid grounding in English and can read and write cohesive sentences and paragraphs.
