Let's Learn English (Tiếng Anh cơ bản) là một khóa học tiếng Anh mới. Các giáo viên dạy tiếng Anh-Mỹ đã soạn thảo khóa học này cho những người mới bắt đầu. Khóa học sẽ kéo dài trong 52 tuần.
Mỗi tuần sẽ có một bài học mới bằng video cho thấy cuộc sống của giới trẻ Mỹ. Bài học giúp trau dồi kỹ năng nói, viết và từ vựng.
Ngoài ra cũng sẽ có các bài thực hành có thể in ra, bảng đánh giá và kế hoạch học tập cho cá nhân và giáo viên dạy tiếng Anh. Chúng tôi khuyến khích các bạn theo dõi các bài học hàng tuần và chia sẻ sự tiến bộ của bạn với chúng tôi qua phần ý kiến và email.

Sách lược học tập (Learning Strategy)
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective.
The learning strategy for this lesson is Monitor. This strategy is what we use when we are speaking, and we want to know if our listeners understand what we say. We also monitor while we are listening, to check on whether we understand what we hear.
In this lesson, Anna goes back to school. She misunderstands the professor, and gives her report on the wrong topic. As she is speaking, she looks at her classmates. Their faces show they are confused. Anna should be monitoring here, to see that the other students cannot understand why she is talking about violins. After the professor corrects her, she begins talking about the topic of violence.
What do you do to monitor when you are speaking in English? Write to us about it in the Comments section or send us an email. Teachers, see the Lesson Plan for more details on teaching this strategy.
