First Step English Programme
English as an additional language for young learners (5-8 years) with little or no English.
In the First Steps class the children will learn the very basics of English.
They will learn simple phrases such as:
- Hello. Goodbye. Good Morning/Afternoon.
- How are you? I am good/not good
- What is your name? My name is………
- How old are you? I am … years old.
Where do you come from? I come from………. - Where do you live? I live in…………
- Please/Thank you.
This will include what we call “survival language”, for example, phrases such as:
- I am hungry/thirsty/sick/tired/sad
- I need to go to the toilet
- Following simple instructions
We will also work on the sounds of the English language, known as phonics, which are the building blocks to learning to read. There will be a different theme each week, and activities will be linked to these.
The themes will include: numbers, shapes and colours, animals, food, home and family, days of the week and weather.
(Please note these themes may be subject to change)
