News: 7.17.2019
USA Learns has launched
a new beginning high / intermediate low course: English 1 Plus. As the
name suggests, this course builds on USA Learns' 1st
English Course. It gives students the opportunity for more
vocabulary, listening, and grammar practice before they move on to the 2nd
English Course, addressing a long-time need for a bridge between the two
levels. If your learners know how to navigate other USA Learns courses, English
1 Plus will be a snap.

Plus was created in partnership with Voice of America
Learning English. Each lesson is based on select clips from their Let's
Learn English 1 videos. These amusing, easy-to-understand videos are
accompanied by USA Learns-style interactive activities that help students
explore the language in depth and practice their skills.
The
course consists of five units with six lessons each. Each lesson includes
practice activities for listening comprehension, grammar and writing, reading,
and speaking.
