As a teacher who intends to teach English as a second language (ESL) or a student who wishes to learn English, you will have to plan and follow a set procedure. First, there will be a need to know the basic concepts of the language. After that, you will have to practice and improve your student’s or your language command.
Alphabet and Numbers
First of all, you will have to become familiar with the English alphabet. There are 26 letters, starting from A and ending with Z. You can use the ABC song to learn the correct pronunciation of the letters.
You can also learn English numbers. It is useful to know them because you can use them in your daily interactions. For instance, when you go to buy things from a shop.
Basic Grammar
There are eight parts of speech in English. You can use them to make comprehensible sentences. They are nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections.
You should know when to use them. You must be able to differentiate between in, on, to, at, etc.
Learning Spellings
You may find it tough to learn the spellings. Make it a point to practice spelling. You should keep in mind some spelling rules, like when you should use capital letters, -ei, or -ie. Some spellings may not coincide with the pronunciation of the words. Sometimes words are pronounced similarly, but their spellings and meanings are not the same. For instance, two, to, and too.
Adjectives, Verbs, and Adverbs
They have a lot of significance in the language, but they can be very confusing, so beginners must pay attention.
The words that describe a noun are known as adjectives. Action words are called verbs. Adverbs describe a verb.
You can increase your vocabulary by studying common words used frequently in English, such as and, yes, and listen. Learn to tell the time in English.
