Trekkers 1
Age: 7-9
Level: A1
This is a great course for children who are just becoming familiar with the very basics of English and are keen to use the language to talk about a wider range of topics. They are likely to be in their second year of primary English and to know some basic functional phrases. During the course, they will start building their own sentences through simple conversations and communicative games.
They will learn to talk about their likes and dislikes, feelings, abilities, hobbies and routines, and learn to describe the location of objects. They will also continue to build useful vocabulary groups such as the names of places in a town and days of the week.
Trekkers 1 can stand alone for a one-week course or be taught side-by-side with Trekkers 2 on a two-week course.
