First Grade Course
Students should download lessons as required and submit their answers to their teacher for marking. Work may be sent either as a regular email or as an attached MS Word document or text file.
All are most welcome to make use of the course material, but only registered students have access to the support of KDL's expert language teachers.
There are text and audio files for each lesson except for the Revision lessons, where there is only a text file. To save to your computer, right click on the icon and choose Save Target As from the shortcut menu. Left-clicking an icon will open a new browser window. Each text file is a .pdf which can be viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader. Acrobat Reader may well already be installed on your machine. If not, then it can be downloaded from the Adobe Website.
