ESL 6

• MS1206 ESL6

This is a course which focuses on developing language skills for intermediate level students of English in grade 6. Vocabulary building and fundamental grammar concepts, focusing on the introduction of the parts of speech and application of simple and continuous tenses in both speaking and writing, are consolidated and aligned with the 6th grade class. There is extensive fiction and non-fiction reading aligned with the grade level LA readings and reading  comprehension exercises, in combination with personal and narrative writing.  Sixth grade thematically based vocabulary includes but is not limited to thematic units that explore essential life questions through literature. Listening comprehension is incorporated throughout and applied to develop note-taking skills. 

Prerequisite: Successful completion of the EFL Foundation Program for returning students and/or appropriate score on the ACS Athens Placement Test for new students.
