Follow me on:

Teaching absolute beginners requires the teacher to pay special attention to the order in which new language is introduced. This 20 point program provides a syllabus to take students from speaking no English at all to being able to fulfill basic communication needs including; giving person information describing their daily routines and the world around them.
