A student new to Kingston College will be assessed and if certain skills need development, the student will be placed in the ESL Program. During the first few weeks, student assessment will continue and all strengths and weaknesses will be identified. An individual learning plan will be created for the student. Wherever possible, students will be transferred into regular Grade 11 courses. Well-chosen images and lyrics evoke an immediate response from learners in the class.
Personal reaction is the vital seed of all meaningful language-learning.
Idioms and idiomatic expressions, regardless of the meanings of the words, have certain meanings and uses. They cannot be specifically translated into other languages-only similar meanings can be given. This course deals with simple idioms first. Gradually, more difficult ones are presented. Develop students vocabulary by means of prefixes, suffixes, compound words, antonyms, synonyms, and word grouping.
