A complete, semester-ready Adult ESL Level 3 curriculum: 10 thematic units, 8 structured lesson days each, plus a vocabulary reference and a full unit assessment with answer key for every unit. 302 pages, print-ready, no prep. The unit order follows Ventures Level 2, so it drops straight into programs already using that sequence.
A story that runs the whole semester: the same five adult classmates, Rosa, Amina, Josué, Tarek, and Mai, appear in all ten units, with a model dialogue on nearly every lesson day. Students follow people, not exercises.
In every 8-day unit: I Can statement in plain student language · warm-up · visual grammar anchor · vocabulary reference page · cloze activities · dialogue practice · scaffolded paragraph writing with sentence frames · exit ticket · unit assessment + answer key.
Units: Personal Introductions · At School · Friends & Family · Health · Around Town · Time · Shopping · Work · Daily Living · Free Time.
Teaching from a projector? The Slide Edition of the same lessons is in the shop too.
