Everyday English

Everyday English — Foundation

Starting level
You studied English at school but have barely spoken it, or you manage a few disconnected sentences and are often asked to repeat.
Target on finishing
You can speak in complete sentences in familiar situations, clearly enough that the person you are talking to understands first time.

Who it is for

Who this course is for

These four groups describe the people already on this course. If none of them quite fits you, that is fine — the consultation is there to say which course does.

Outcomes

What you come away with

Not the syllabus listed a second time, but what is left once the course has finished.

Pronunciation is corrected as you speak, not set aside into a separate theory lesson.
  • People understand you first time

    Work on final consonants, word stress and sentence intonation — the three things that decide whether you are understood.

  • Whole sentences instead of single words

    The most-used sentence patterns are practised until they come without thinking, so the conversation does not break off.

  • You follow native speakers at normal speed

    Listening practice uses real everyday conversation, including the linking and elision that textbooks leave out.

  • Enough confidence to speak first

    Every lesson includes paired speaking and speaking to a small group, so opening your mouth becomes routine rather than an event.

Syllabus

What you study

Everything the course covers, grouped. The order and the weight of each part are adjusted after each student's entry test.

How we teach

The six steps behind every Wobridge course

These six steps apply to every course we run, on every programme. What changes from course to course is how much weight each step carries — noted directly under the list.

  1. Entry assessment

    A test across all four skills before placement, so we know where a student stands and what is missing.

  2. Learning path

    The target broken into stages with checkpoints, rather than a single number waiting at the end of the course.

  3. Practice

    Every lesson includes work done in class; theory never occupies a lesson on its own.

  4. Feedback

    Writing and speaking marked against the assessment criteria of the exam being prepared, with each fault attached to a named criterion.

  5. Progress tracking

    Results are recorded skill by skill through the course, so it is visible which part is moving and which is not.

  6. Mock test

    A paper sat in the real format and to the real timings, then talked through afterwards.

On this course. This course runs FIVE of the six steps: there is no mock-test step, because everyday English has no standardised exam to mock. Its place is taken by the conversations in class — progress is measured by what you can say and whether people understand you first time.
