One to One Teaching English in the local community: Out and about

Out and about focuses on speaking skills and functional language that your learner might need to use in the local communities. This is supplemented with vocabulary work and a small amount of reading. There are three units in this pack available to download below: Market and supermarket, Going out, and A busy week. These nine lessons complement each other but can be used separately. Timings are approximate and depending on your learner may take less or more time than shown.

Market and supermarket​

• The first unit will give your learner the language he or she will need for interactions in local shops. Bearing in mind that your learner may be more confident in oral skills than literacy skills, the materials do not require strong reading and writing skills. However, there are activities which specifically aim to improve basic literacy.
• Where real objects (realia) are available as a stimulus for activities, it is good to use them. In the event of realia being unavailable, pictures have been provided to use for all activities.

Going out

• This unit will give your learner the language needed to get around the local area. Bearing in mind that your learner may be more confident in oral skills compared to literacy skills, the materials do not require strong reading and writing skills. However, there are activities which specifically aim to improve basic literacy.

A busy week

• This unit will give your learner the language needed to get around the local area. Bearing in mind that your learner may be more confident in oral skills than literacy skills, the materials do not require strong reading and writing skills. However, there are activities which specifically aim to improve basic literacy.
