Inside the Classroom: Sneak Peek into a L.E.A.P. Course

Ever wondered what a typical lesson in the L.E.A.P. Program looks like? In this post, we're giving you an exclusive sneak peek into our courses to help you understand how the program works, what you’ll learn, and how our students engage with the content to master English.

Whether you’re a prospective student or simply curious about online language learning, this blog will walk you through what it’s like inside the L.E.A.P. Program classroom.

The L.E.A.P. Course Structure: A Quick Overview

Before diving into the lesson details, let’s quickly review the L.E.A.P. course structure. The program follows a self-paced learning model, where students learn at their convenience through interactive modules, audio lessons, and quizzes. Here's a brief snapshot of what makes L.E.A.P. unique:

• Level-based Curriculum: The courses follow the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), ranging from A1 (Beginner) to C1 (Advanced).

  
  

• Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing (LSRW): Each lesson is designed to strengthen a specific LSRW skill.

  
  

• Podcasts & Quizzes: Every lesson comes with an audio podcast, and students are assessed through interactive quizzes and written exercises.

  
  

• Webinars: Monthly expert webinars help clarify concepts and provide a platform for live Q&A.

Inside a Typical L.E.A.P. Lesson: A Sneak Peek

Now, let’s take you behind the scenes and give you a detailed look at what an actual L.E.A.P. lesson entails.

1. Introduction to the Topic

Every lesson starts with a brief overview of the topic to be covered. For example, in a B1-level course about “Describing Experiences and Events,” the lesson introduction would go over key phrases for narrating events in the past.

• Example:

  
  

  • “Today, we will focus on past tense verbs and how to describe an event you experienced. We'll look at vocabulary for time expressions like 'last week,' 'yesterday,' and 'a few days ago.’”

    
    

This introduction is usually presented in written text with audio narration.

2. Vocabulary and Grammar Drill

One of the key components of any L.E.A.P. course is vocabulary building. In this segment, the lesson introduces important words and phrases related to the topic. Students are presented with an interactive vocabulary quiz or flashcards that allow them to test their knowledge.

• Example:

  
  

  • A lesson on past-tense verbs will include phrases like:

    
    

    • “I saw the movie last night.”

      
      

    • “She visited her grandmother over the weekend.”

      
      

  • The student is asked to match these phrases with their correct past-tense forms.

    
    

This vocabulary section ensures that students grasp both the meaning and pronunciation of new words.

3. Listening Comprehension Task

At the heart of L.E.A.P. is listening comprehension. After introducing vocabulary, students listen to a short audio clip (a podcast, conversation, or a real-life situation). These clips feature natural language, accent diversity, and realistic scenarios that students might encounter in daily life or professional settings.

• Example:

  
  

  • A B1-level lesson might include a conversation between two colleagues discussing a recent event:

    
    

    • “Hi, John. How was your weekend?”

      
      

    • “It was great! I went hiking in the mountains. How about you?”

      
      

    • “I just stayed home and watched movies.”

      
      

Students would be tasked with answering questions based on what they hear in the audio, reinforcing their listening and comprehension skills.

• Listening Quiz Example:

  
  

  • Question: “What did John do over the weekend?”

    
    

    • A) Went hiking

      
      

    • B) Stayed home

      
      

    • C) Watched movies

      
      

This quiz helps students focus on key information and also builds their ability to extract specific details from spoken English.

4. Reading and Writing Exercises

After the listening exercise, students move to reading and writing tasks. These are designed to strengthen the student's ability to understand written material and express their thoughts clearly.

• Reading Task Example:

  
  

  • Students are asked to read a short story or article related to the lesson topic, such as a description of a personal experience or event.

    
    

  • They then answer questions to test their understanding, like identifying key points or understanding the tone of the text.

    
    

• Writing Task Example:

  
  

  • “Describe your last holiday. Use at least five of the new vocabulary words you learned today.”

    
    

  • This task helps students consolidate their knowledge and practice real-world applications of language.

5. Review and Recap

To wrap up the lesson, students are given a summary of key takeaways from the lesson. This is a great opportunity for students to reflect on what they’ve learned and ask themselves:

• Did I understand the new vocabulary?

  
  

• Did I complete the exercises accurately?

  
  

• What should I review again?

  
  

Additionally, students have access to self-assessment quizzes that can be retaken for better practice.
