Welcome to ESL001 Elementary English as a Second Language
My name is Ela Lynn, I’m one of the professors that helped develop this course. In Unit 1, you will learn about the eight parts of speech and when each is used. You will learn how to recognize each part of speech and why using them correctly improves your communication skills. In Units 2 and 3, you will learn how to read actively by using context clues and other reading skills and see how reading more can help you expand your vocabulary. Unit 4 focuses on taking those reading skills and using them to help you write. By the end of the course, you'll be able to write a few sentences about your daily routine using the lessons on parts of speech, reading actively, and vocabulary to help you communicate clearly. Successful completion of ESL001 will prepare you for ESL002, where you will continue to improve your English reading and writing skills. You can start by reviewing the course learning outcomes and the syllabus, you can find both on the left navigation panel. Let’s get started!
