Maestro Inglés: a la carte ESL Lessons
Background
The Maestro Inglés staff have decades of experience running language schools and intensively preparing executives for language survival in overseas assignments. Because of that, they have purposely developed the most comprehensive and accelerated online ESL lessons available. In fact, they offer 500+ ESL lessons in all the major skill areas. And many of their students say that they are the best ESL courses and lessons for Latinos due to a lesson design that primarily favors those who already know Spanish!
Lesson design of the 500+ ESL lessons
There are 3 design elements that need mentioning: First, although the lessons are in English, Spanish is the reference language. What does that mean? It means that although the lessons are in English, the student can, within the lesson, instantly toggle to Spanish for an explanation of a difficult concept! The result: you can move through lessons faster because you more easily understand the concepts being taught.
Secondly, they have built into the lesson design the strategic use of cognates. What are cognates? They are words that look and sound almost or exactly the same in both English and Spanish. They are easy to recognize and are therefore quickly understood (i.e. celebration vs. celebración). We use your knowledge of Spanish, with its many cognates, to accelerate learning English. Did you know that there are over 20,000 English/Spanish cognates? And they use them liberally in their lesson designs!
By using Spanish as the reference language and the strategic use of cognates within the lessons, overall ESL progress is accelerated! Without a doubt, that is because it is easier to learn something you are already partially familiar with than a completely new topic. And finally, there is still another reason why the unique lesson design makes Maestro Inglés lessons so effective.
Thirdly, and not the least important design element is how they deliver the lesson content. Let me explain. Maestro Inglés staff have thousands of hours, and in some cases years, developing the most effective and modern delivery methods to achieve 4 essential objectives.
The 4 Essential Objectives
- To deliver content locally without the need for a costly and often inconvenient full immersion in another country.
- To deliver the way that all the senses of language learning can be exercised together: auditory, visual, and vocal.
- To deliver content in such a way that students are motivated, entertained, rewarded, and assured.
- To deliver content in a way that engages students’ passions and emotions, the gateways to long-term memory retention.
These 4 objectives are applied to each and every lesson design in order to maximize the benefits to the student. That means, in simple terms, the greatest return on the time spent.
Use of modern technologies in the 500+ ESL lessons
Clearly, these are not the language lessons of 20 years ago… or even 5 years ago! Maestro Inglés fully multimedia ESL lessons make extensive use of modern technologies. The lessons are filled with audio recordings, high-quality videos, written exercises, spoken word practice, optional person-to-person Zoom chats, and recording technologies. That’s why these lessons are considered the best ESL courses for Latinos that you will find available anywhere on the internet. So why wait? Get started today!
