Content

English Adventures comes as a set of 2 DVDs. The course is divided into four modules or "learning units" of approximately 25 units. Each unit is comprised of an adventure component and two types of activities. Each begins by presenting the learning content via an original 3D adventure where children are immersed in a friendly and supportive English-speaking environment. After completing the adventure segment, students get to practice their English skills in a series of multimedia Planet activities where each planet focuses on a different language skill.

English Adventures provides children with full immersion in English within an authentic learning environment using animated stories, chants and games to provide a rich and meaningful learning context. The systematic approach to phonics emphasizes the correspondence between the written language and the sounds of letters, letter combinations and words.
