The paper discusses a many-year-long experience of designing and using an elementary
course of oral everyday communication when teaching English to adults who have previously
finished an introductory (preparatory) course of that language and are principally oriented towards
acquiring the skills of oral communication in English. The article is the continuation of the
preceding article published in the International Letters of Social and Humanistic Sciences, and it
discloses the way of practical implementation on the elementary level of language education of the
communicative-analytic method substantiated in that previous paper. The elementary course
analyzed in the article is created for the beginner’s stage of learning English by those adults who
desire to acquire it outside university language programs – for instance, in different kinds of
commercial language schools and centers. The developed elementary course of oral everyday
communication is structured on the basis of communicative-analytic approach with the equilibrium
of communicative and language form-focused learning activities. Communicativeness is
implemented by way of following Lewis’s lexical approach and methods of intensive language
teaching developed by Losanov. The course of 56 two-hour classes precedes the pre-intermediate
course of speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English and follows a very short two monthlong
introductory course.
