All new students of The Rosencroit Academy take The Foundations Course in order to become accustomed to the Rosencroit system of study. This course is divided into three sections, over a ten week period:
(Weeks 1-4) The first four-weeks will cover the general skills of reading, writing, speaking, and listening while also introducing the practice of phonics and phonetics (pronunciation), common idioms and phrasal verbs, and intermediate grammar. Videos, books, and music will be used in the instruction of the class, and students will have the opportunity to lead group discussions. Homework will be periodically given and group/partner work will be required.
(Weeks 5-8) The second four-weeks will cover academic skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening while also introducing the practice of public speaking (oral presentations), enhanced vocabulary, note-taking, and advanced grammar. Videos, books, and articles will be used in the instruction of this portion of the class, and students will again have the opportunity to lead group discussions. Homework will be periodically given and group/partner work will be required.
(Weeks 9-10) The final two-weeks of the class will cover the practical application of the skills learned in the previous eight weeks. Students will enhance their knowledge by performing editing tasks on written materials and by examining the written word through sentence analysis. They will also practice diction and will further their study of idioms, slang, and phrasal verbs while also learning more about the American culture. During this portion of the class, each student will have one or more of the following projects to complete: one research OR general oral presentation (student's choice), one three-page essay, an in-class editing exercise (grammar review), and a take-home diction summary. In addition, periodic homework may be assigned, depending upon the needs of the students. Group and/or partner work may or may not be required.
By the culmination of this course, students should be prepared to continue their English studies in more advanced classes. They will be able to confidently discuss aspects of their lives - including their feelings, thoughts, and mood - with ease, be it in an academic or conversational setting. Their writing skills will have dramatically improved, and as such their speaking skills will also have improved greatly. And, most importantly, each student's confidence level will have grown profoundly, having studied pronunciation, speaking, grammar, writing, listening, and public speaking throughout the ten week course.
