Course (Part 2)

Course: English For Today Class One

Unit 1: Good Morning introduces basic greetings in English for young learners. It begins with a simple question: What do you see in the picture? Who are they? The lesson then moves to a listening exercise in which students listen and repeat in chorus, in small groups, and individually. The target phrases include Good morning, good morning; How are you? How are you?; I am fine. Thank you. I am fine. Thank you. In the Practice section, students look, listen, and repeat lines such as Good morning. Good morning. In later pages the teacher greets: Good morning, students; Good morning, teacher. The dialogue sections present phrases like Hello, Raju; Hello, Sheela; How are you? I am fine. Thank you. The responses emphasize polite replies: I am fine. Thank you. And you? How are you, teacher? Other activities include D. Listen and say in pairs: Hello, Sakib; Hello, Sara; I am fine. Thank you. How are you? The unit also introduces singing-based exercises like Two Little Blackbirds, where students listen, repeat in chorus with gestures, and then practice in pairs and groups. A chain drill at the end helps students recite and respond in sequence, such as Teacher: Good morning, everyone; Student: How are you? I am fine, thank you. And you? The overall aim is to build comfort with basic conversation, pronunciation, and turn-taking in English from the first lesson.
