Lesson Overviews (Classes 1-4)
The first four TEFLspot Intermediate classes are designed to progressively build rapport, confidence, and communication skills among students while establishing essential vocabulary and grammar structures.
Class 1 introduces the classroom environment, expectations, and peer-to-peer interaction through structured self-introductions and participation routines.
Class 2 builds expressive ability with a broader emotional and personality vocabulary, while encouraging storytelling and natural conversation.
Class 3 dives into family and relationship vocabulary, frequency expressions, and possessives, culminating in a personal family tree project.
Class 4 is a fast-paced review of the first three sessions through engaging games and collaborative speaking activities that reinforce key concepts in a fun, competitive format.
