English Zone is
a new four-skills, six-level primary series that offers
stimulating and diverse language learning experiences. As they
further their facility in English, students engage in
stimulating activities that link to school curriculum areas
such as mathematics, social science, natural science, health,
art, drama, and language arts. Special cross-curricular Zones
in each unit offer content-based readings and task-based
activities related to these subject areas.
The series also directly addresses the
importance of building literacy by presenting self-contained,
high-interest stories at each level. As students gain
competence in reading and acquire the skills and strategies
they need, related tasks gradually increase in complexity.
At each level, students are also introduced
to a different set of characters who present language in
real-life situations in meaningful and interesting ways.
A comprehensive Teacher´s Guide
provides additional support material, techniques and activities
for catering to multiple intelligences, as well as language
support and strategies for building all four skills.
The opportunity to apply English skills to
the range of experiences and activities students encounter in
the school curriculum ensures that their language learning will
assume a special richness.
