Speaking: Interacting with Others 

CLB 1-4 

Students enjoy practicing the art of "Small Talk" as it helps them gain confidence interacting with others. In Stage I classes, they are learning language chunks (Hello, My name is…, ….Have a nice day…. Goodbye…) in addition to: 

Introducing themselves and other people;

Taking turns listening and speaking;

Using body language to show interest and confusion;

Talking about themselves, their family and friends, and every day routines;

Asking questions about other people; 

Answering questions asked; 

Sharing personal information like phone numbers and addresses; and

Understanding relationships, and levels of formality.

Today's classroom ready packages includes a bonus. It includes two assessment forms. One that focuses on body language, and another one that includes speaking abilities as well as body language.
