There are 5 Units with 4 lessons in each to make a total of 20 lessons altogether. Teachers and students will spend 20 hours on each Unit so the whole course will take 100 hours to complete. Each lesson has a Task at the end which is an extension activity from the skills learned in the lesson and at the end of each Unit there is an Assignment which also includes a teachers marking key.
Check out the lesson blog where new lessons are added regularly for extra activities in reading, speaking, listening and writing.
Smart English Class was developed by Carolyn Martin
I live in Perth, Western Australia with my husband and three children. I have a Diploma of Education in English and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages.
My first job was teaching English in a high school in a far north western town in Australia called Port Hedland over twenty years ago. Since then I have worked in a variety of schools and colleges all over Australia including a summer term teaching the bridging course to students at the University of Melbourne.
Now I am working at the University of Western Australia teaching academic English language to students who are intending to further their studies at university.
My previous written work includes a series of text books published by Pearson Education called English Outcomes 1, English Outcomes 2 and English Outcomes 3.
I developed Smart English Class to modernise the whole learning experience and provide lessons online rather than using the same old text books. This way all students can access all lessons at any time from their own device while being able to research and write all in the same place.
I have a passion for writing and enjoy creating interactive and engaging lessons for all students. I hope you enjoy these online lessons from Australia!
