Basic Core Fluency A

Catalog description

This course is a basic level (CEFR A2 to A2+) listening and speaking course for English learners. The learning outcomes for listening focus on the comprehension of simple stretches of general spoken discourse with an emphasis on active listening skills such as identifying the topic, main ideas, and details; following the sequence of events; and predicting the meaning of unknown words in familiar contexts. The learning outcomes for speaking target question structure and intonation; production of English consonant and vowel sounds; and communicating in routine conversations and discussions – all of which culminate in the production of informal presentations on general topics. The course meets three (3) clock hours per week.
