English Corner Lessons - Background to the Lessons
English Corner grew out of a request from students to learn English through the Bible. Lessons are developed around:
Each lesson usually has the following format:
1. Warm Up:
4. Conclusion:
- Parables
- Values
- Introductory series to Jesus around Easter and Christmas
Each lesson usually has the following format:
1. Warm Up:
- Whole group warm up: A fun, interactive activity that introduces the topic and students to each other
- The large group is broken up into smaller groups, each with a teacher/facilitator. These can be divided into different English levels or can be run as mixed-level groups.
- Hot Topics: These relate the lesson to the students' culture or personal experiences
- Lesson: Discussion questions that provide the students with many opportunities to speak, finishing with a verse from the Bible or acting out a Bible story.
- Key vocabulary is provided for each lesson and teacher's usually bring pictures or pen and paper to help explain difficult or unfamiliar vocabulary
4. Conclusion:
- The students come back together in a large group where there is a brief comment/summary activity about the lesson, interview students who are leaving and announcements about up coming events etc.
