Content
English+ is composed of nine CD modules, each of which contains 80-120 learning hours (equivalent to a year of study). The program is divided into Basic, Intermediate and Advanced levels and is suited for ages 12 and up. It is based on accepted curricula, covers all the grammatical structures and presents over 3,500 lexical items. A special attribute of English+ is that it accommodates different learning styles by incorporating different educational methods.
English+ covers all the major skills areas: reading, speaking, writing, and listening. Grammar is dealt with through contextualized animated examples, with explanations in the student’s native language. Vocabulary is approached through thematic lexical lists partially taken from the four major skills areas. There is also an adventure game which integrates all the language skills in a meaningful and authentic way.
Pedagogical features include a Study Planner enabling learners to plan their learning process, guided lessons divided according to themes, a variety of new practice exercises, and a study progress report that enables learners to keep track of their progress and test results.
