FAQs
Who is the Daily English Immersion Course for?
There are two different courses available - Elementary to Intermediate and Upper Intermediate to Advanced.

If you join a course and decide that it is too easy or difficult, you can always change levels to one that is more appropriate for you.
What kinds of lessons and activities can I expect to do each week?
Each week of the Daily English Immersion Course has a different topic. The topic is introduced using a video clip, an article, a blog or some other piece of media from the English-speaking world. This media provides the basis for a range of activities and lessons that help you understand and use the grammar, vocabulary and phrases related to the topic in real-world communicative situations. For example, you might watch a micro-lecture prepared by the teacher, complete a vocabulary activity, take part in a listening or reading exercise, study an area of grammar, write an article, participate in a pronunciation workshop or practice your conversational skills in a speaking class. Each day is different, but each day's set of lessons and activities are designed to help you understand the weekly topic and prepare you to talk about it in the weekly speaking class.
What happens in the weekly speaking class?
The speaking classes are hosted online (via Zoom) by a qualified, native English speaking teacher. During the class, students are presented with a speaking activity and then divided into pairs or small groups in 'breakout rooms' to complete the task. The teacher moves between breakout rooms to guide you through the activity, offer suggestions and input, provide feedback on error and just say hello! The emphasis is on you and your fellow students to use the language that you have been studying throughout the week to complete the activity and activate your newfound English knowledge!
