Basic English Skills : Visit California

UC Davis uses travel in California as a context for basic English practice. Grammar sits alongside reading, listening and writing, giving learners several ways to revisit the vocabulary. The destination is a teaching theme; the main purpose is to develop language skills.

What you will learn

• Use verb tense in simple travel statements.
• Practice reading and listening for meaning.
• Write a short description of a visit.
