ENGLISH WITH DAVID

As a professional English teacher, I offer classes that develop oral and written fluency and accuracy. It is important that students receive  integrated skills  that focus on improving speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills through a variety of communicative activities role plays as well as the use of authentic materials such as broadcast and print media. Most adult programs are easily created for specific needs.Adults generally feel the need to communicate with confidence in what is often perceived as the international medium.  English often gives a person in the job market greater flexibility and a wider range of business options.

Beginner program

The aim is to provide some basic "survival" vocabulary. Thus grammar is not emphasized too much. Vocabulary lessons might cover words needed for routine activities, such as catching a bus, buying clothes, finding a job and asking directions. Adults who complete a beginner program can move up to intermediate programs, which include instruction in English

 

Intermediate and Programs

 These programs, are designed for adults who have good speaking skills, but who may need help with reading and writing in English. These programs prepare adult students for career training, to enter the workforce or to move on to advanced English programs that can prepare them for college courses.

 

Advanced Programs

These programs may be structured academic ESL classes. These more intense classes would prepare students to be accpted by certain US upper-level institutions of learning. Adult students can obtain the skills necessary to pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), which is sometimes a requisite for entrance to certain US colleges

Some colleges and universities offer supplemental English courses for students whose English proficiency was sufficient to allow them to pass the TOEFL and gain admission but who may need additional language instruction to succeed in college. For example, a student may need to be proficient in a specific subject such as Maths.
