Basic ESL Program - BEP

The Basic English Program is comprised of verbal (listening and speaking) and structure (practical grammar and writing) sections. In the basic levels of the verbal section, listening and speaking skills are introduced through the use of dialogues, pictures, or pantomime. Students learn basic phrases in order to deal with common situations and topics in an English-speaking environment. In the intermediate levels of the verbal section, communication beyond everyday English is emphasized as students move on to more complex language skills.

Class materials focus on current events and topics to practice newly learned language functions. In the advanced levels of the verbal section, the focus is on both informal speaking and formal presentation skills related to public speaking and everyday communication in the English-speaking world. Students will be fine-tuning their oral communication skills to enhance both the accuracy and fluency of their English language abilities.
