 Basic Course : Where does the teacher start?
Hello friends,
I teach English at a girls' college which attracts students from a less-privileged economic and educational background. Over the last few years, thousands of job opportunities have opened up in my country, India, for those who have an undergraduate degree and can communicate reasonably well in English. Most of these are call-centre jobs that require a certain level of proficiency in spoken English.
To help my students land such jobs, which are fairly lucrative to get them started, I'm planning to design an eight-week course (as part of my work) in communicative English. I want suggestions from fellow-teachers on how to structure it. The trickiest part for me is to decide on where to start--these kids can't speak 2 full sentences without slipping up.
I look forward to some useful tips.
