ESL Beginner Levels 3 & 4: Integrated Skills *In-Person*

This is an integrated skills class for students who speak a little English. Focus will be on grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, spelling, and simple conversation. We will review the grammar points covered in Beginner Level 1 and 2, as well as articles, nouns and pronouns, the past tense, and the future tense. We will study the entire textbook. It includes some modal auxiliaries, prepositions, comparatives, superlatives, and an introduction to the perfect tenses. This class is equivalent to CEFR A2. 
Instructors: Sylwia Gierczak, Rosa Lopez, John O'Donnell
