To face the challenges of the 21^st century and to be responsible global citizens, children should be guided from their young age. English is essential in this regard. The English for Juniors course at Royal Institute prepares students from Grade 1 to 8 to meet the demands of the future world. The course will improve students’ listening and speaking skills, reading, writing, pronunciation, vocabulary, and knowledge in grammar.

Course Components

• Student’s book: Each unit is divided into three lessons in which new vocabulary and grammar structures/functions are presented. A wide variety of activities allow students to practice basic vocabulary and grammar.
• Workbook: Students practice the language through activities that accompany each unit of the student’s book. The aim is to consolidate the linguistic items (vocabulary, structures, functions) that appear in the student’s book.
• Phonics: We believe it is important not to neglect the different sounds of a foreign language. For this reason, we have included activities that help students speak intelligible English.
• Special Days: The pages depict a festive day of the year and motivate the interest of students. These pages also give cross-cultural information of English-speaking countries that help students understand other cultures.
• Tests: There are six revision tests corresponding to the revision units, a midterm, and a final test.
• Smart World: These one-page lessons can be found after the completion of a module. The Smart World pages consist of texts through which students learn about the habits, traditions, or lifestyles of other cultures.
• Portfolio: The portfolio is made up of two sections: the project and the self-evaluation section. The projects promote revision and consolidation, while the self-evaluation section enables students to record their progress and promotes self-awareness about their own strengths and weaknesses.
