ESL LEARNING: TEACHING METHOD
One of the biggest concerns
for CIP students is how to learn English. They often ask what the correct
techniques and methods are to master this universal language. At CIP,
we believe we’re on the right path,
and have discovered the best techniques which our teachers employ for
each student. Below is a list of methods for each area based on the CIP
Level Chart for students. The time
frame for each level often depends on
the study habits and learning pace of
the student.
Level 100 – PRE-BEGINNER. (4-5
weeks) The lowest level of ESL students, with no vocabulary
 Use of pictures to introduce vocabulary to teach “concrete” ideas
i.e. ball, watch, man, car, etc.
 Emphasis on repetition of basic
words
 Introduction of basic elementary
vocabulary (GRADE 1)
 Writing exercises, repetitive word
patterns
 Slow and relaxed speaking exercises
Level 201 – ELEMENTARY. (3-4
weeks) The student is more comfortable with common phrases and expres-
sions.

learning about nouns, verbs, and
adjectives.
 Focus on basic conversation, and
understanding general topics for
discussion
 Writing is a primary focus to assist
with creation of ideas and details
of thoughts
 Reading exercises often given for
homework in order to prepare
student’s mind for subsequent
lessons
 Reinforcement on pronunciation
and intonation to improve listener
understanding of the student
Level 301 – PRE-INTERMEDIATE.
(4-5 weeks) Student has the ability to
have basic conversations with natives
using basic common expressions and
words; knows how to respond quickly
with some confidence.

this level to help beautify the communication of the student
 Pronunciation and intonation are
developed through repetition of
word exercises and readings

rather than only introduction of
vocabulary
