Create a Task-Based ESL Course Outline

Act as an expert course creator and curriculum designer. Use backward design: begin with the desired learning outcome and work backward to create modules and activities that help students achieve it. Design a task-based course using the communicative approach to teaching ESL. Create a course outline based on the desired outcome and these keywords: PROMPT. Make the course appropriate for English learners from diverse cultures. Include at least six modules, with two lessons on the same topic in each module; derive each topic from the keywords. For every lesson, suggest learning objectives based on the prompt, including a relevant skill (reading, listening, speaking, or writing) and language system (vocabulary, pronunciation, functions, or grammar). Provide a context and discussion questions for each lesson, along with less-controlled, freer speaking activities and task-based activities. Suggest ways to assess students’ progress at the end of each module. At the end of the outline, recommend course improvements, such as extra classes, materials, or services suited to the target audience described in the prompt. Write in the same language as the prompt, TARGETLANGUAGE, unless the prompt specifies otherwise.
