Pre-intermediate ESL Lessons: Level 4
Level 4 is the pre-intermediate stage in the Teachers Together English kids-to-teen progression. It is designed for learners who are ready to move beyond clear beginner communication and into stronger comprehension, broader topic discussion, and more flexible expression. At this stage, students are ready for richer vocabulary, stronger grammar control, and lesson themes that ask them to describe, compare, explain, and respond with more detail. Inside The Tutor Resource, Level 4 helps tutors support that growth with practical, engaging lessons that still feel easy to teach one to one.
