In this course, you will build foundational English skills through case-based units about technology, an art museum, and the airport. You will practice vocabulary connected to each setting, then use listening and reading investigations to answer comprehension questions from the case materials. Grammar practice focuses on giving instructions, creating positive and negative sentences with the be verb, using there is and there are, and forming questions with the be verb. Speaking and writing evidence tasks help you apply the language from each unit in context. Each unit also includes vocabulary practice, grammar practice, a quiz, an exit ticket, and closing activities so you can review what you have learned. By the end of the course, you will have practiced simple English for technology topics, cultural places, and airport situations while strengthening listening, reading, speaking, writing, vocabulary, and grammar skills.
