Core ESL Curriculum – Level 3

Course Overview

Build Confidence, Expand Language, and Move Beyond Basics

Level 3 is where students move from simple sentences to real communication. At this stage, learners begin combining ideas, asking clearer questions, and using English with more confidence across speaking, reading, writing, and listening.

This course is designed to expand vocabulary, strengthen sentence structure, and support students as they move toward independent language use. Lessons are engaging, structured, and ideal for students preparing for Cambridge Movers and early Flyers.

Why Teachers Love Level 3

No lesson planning required
Clear progression from lesson to lesson
Works seamlessly for mixed-ability learners
Easy to adapt for fast or slower students
Fits perfectly into the full Florentis Learning Core Curriculum pathway

What Students Will Learn

Level 3 units are topic-based and carefully sequenced to support steady language growth. Each unit integrates vocabulary, grammar, and communication skills through stories, visuals, and interactive practice.

Students explore real-world themes such as:

Daily life and routines
School and activities
Clothes, seasons, and sports
Jobs and communities
Self-care and the world around us
