General Introduction

What is BurlingtonEnglish? BurlingtonEnglish is a unique program that uses a blended approach to learning English by combining BurlingtonEnglish Online Interactive Study with Face-to-Face Lessons. Students acquire essential language skills through listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Target Group: Adults and young adults

BurlingtonEnglish offers a Core Program for general English and a broad range of Career Extensions BurlingtonEnglish and Advanced Extensions. BurlingtonEnglish Core Program courses are structured, taking students from beginner to intermediate BurlingtonEnglish level. They engage students in conversations about everyday topics while developing and enhancing their language skills. BurlingtonEnglish Career Extensions and Advanced Extensions can be used by people in training for BurlingtonEnglish specific professions, people currently working professionally in those fields, or by those interested in exploring the world of a specific profession. These courses can be used as stand-alone training or as an integrated part of a larger professional training course.

The BurlingtonEnglish Blend The Burlington BurlingtonEnglish English Blend uses both online and face-to-face delivery modes, so that different aspects of language can be presented, practiced and produced in the ways most facilitative to learning. The Online Interactive Study is designed to be used independently and is geared to the highest level of individualization, both in pace and level. Students are provided with individual learning activities, including scenes and slideshows, listen and record activities, interactive dialogues, word games, dictionary activities, check yourself, and progress reports. Ample listening texts and speaking practice are embedded in the online lessons, and immediate feedback and answer-judging are provided for activities. Students can repeat activities as often as desired, helping them to reach automaticity in their use of language. The BurlingtonE BurlingtonEnglish nglish SpeechTrainer® provides individual training, which includes error assessment, articulation training, minimal pairs differentiation, sound discrimination, and progress assessment. Make sure that your students are aware of the online help that is available to them, in the form of HelpSpots and translations. The Face-to-Face Lessons provide students with opportunities to do things that can better be done when facilitated by the teacher, who can provide explanation and elucidation. In addition, students can practice true speaking in a natural environment, enabling them to negotiate meaning successfully. Teachers are provided with outlines of teaching tips for face-to-face activities, including pair work, role-play, guided writing, grammar worksheets, vocabulary games, dictations and tests. Teachers can select the ideas that are most suitable for their classes, depending on the level, size and interest of the group. The activities can be used as an introduction, reinforcement, or review of the language taught in the online modules.

General Introduction

The way you blend the two parts – the Online Interactive Study and the Face-to-Face Lessons – depends on how often you meet with your students and the number of students in your class, as well as their age, background, and level of proficiency. Face-to-Face Lessons should include the following: 1. A warm-up activity, which practices the vocabulary presented in the Situations or Module covered. This will give the teacher the opportunity to correct any pronunciation or comprehension problems. The activities can be used for presentation, practice, review or summary of the target language. 2. A review of questions or problems the students encountered in their online sessions. These may include questions about grammar. For the Extensions, look at the grammar links suggested for the Module in each Overview. For the Core Program courses, refer to the Teacher’s Notes for the grammar points in question. 3. Activities from the Teacher’s Teacher’s Notes to activate the class. The teacher can choose from any of the available activities. 4. An introduction to the next part of the program. We hope you find the Teacher’s Material helpful, and have a successful experience teaching English with BurlingtonEnglish Burlingto nEnglish.
