Using an inquiry-based approach, this program develops essential communication and thinking skills for 21st-century success. Engaging Big Questions like "Who are your family and friends?" and "How can we make music?" stimulate students' natural curiosity, allowing them to ask questions and explore their surroundings. This method, combined with a controlled grammar and skills syllabus, aids students in achieving near-native English fluency. Teachers are equipped with tools to foster critical thinking in children, shaping them into innovative thinkers for the future. Key features include a unique methodology that merges inquiry-based learning with structured grammar and skills instruction. Each unit revolves around Big Questions linked to school subjects, supported by authentic fiction and non-fiction texts that offer diverse perspectives. Video clips introduce each Big Question, activating prior knowledge, while teaching tools like the Big Question Chart enhance critical thinking development. Online practice connects classroom learning to home, and supplementary resources like Oxford Discover Grammar and Writing and Spelling provide further practice. Additionally, a vocabulary syllabus linked to the Cambridge Young Learners English Test and Cambridge ESOL-style activities enrich the learning experience.
