Building Blocks of Basic English

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to understand and use basic English words and phrases.

What do you already know about basic English?

Introduction

Welcome to the lesson on basic English! Today, we will start from the very beginning and learn fundamental words and expressions.

Yes & No

Let's start with the basic words for 'yes' and 'no'. 'Yes' means agreeing or giving a positive response, while 'no' means disagreeing or giving a negative response.

Why

Next, we will learn the question word 'why', which is used to ask for a reason or explanation.

Basic Conversation

Now, let's practice a simple conversation using the words 'yes', 'no', and 'why'. This will help you apply what you've learned so far.

Self-Assessment

Take a moment to reflect on what you've learned today and think about how you can use these basic English words in your daily life.

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
