Elementary ESOL - Grades: 3 - 5

English as a Second Language (ESOL) is an online course intended to impart instruction in English for non-native English speakers. The course presents students with the opportunity to acquire and improve their English skills mainly through the instruction of basic grammar skills and daily used vocabulary such as, but not limited to, families, seasons, numbers, colors, likes and dislikes, introductions, food. Many of the lessons are dedicated to exercises so participants can repeatedly practice the oral and grammar components of the language. Using chat software and computer microphone and speakers, participants will be able to practice their conversational English live with an accredited instructor.
