 **Course Description:** This course is the first of four courses of PFSI and the first of eight courses of PFLE. This course prepares the English language learner (ELL) to improve understandings through explanation, interpretation, application, perspective, empathy, and self-knowledge by communicating in English. A holistic learning design will focus on the integration of the following strands at an A.1.1 level: listening, speaking, writing, viewing, and representing, with emphasis in reading comprehension.
 * Course Objective:** The learner will begin to understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. The learner will also begin to be able to introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has. Finally, the learner will begin to interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.


 * Course delivery:** Wikispaces, Skype, Ning

**Facilitors:** //EFL/ESL educators are encouraged to add your name here.//
