Each series comprises an introductory unit and 20 units of work, each with a distinct theme and specific learning outcomes. Each unit of work includes three lessons (A, B, and C) with associated worksheets and resource sheets.
The course has been designed to run for 20 weeks, with three half hour lessons per week. It may take longer to complete the course as the timetable of classes will vary for each school. It is suggested that 'a little, often' is the best way to learn another language, so regular timetabling of classes is recommended.
The integrated package of materials includes:
- a teacher's guide and classroom support materials, including transcripts of the CD audio and video
- a double audio CD
- a video introducing the specific language.
Further useful resources can be found in the Language Resources section of this site.
Ordering Materials
The parts of each language set can be ordered separately. Schools may request free copies of the two folders of units for each teacher of the specified language in the school, as well as one free copy of the video and of the double audio CD for that language. Additional copies of the video or the double audio CD can be ordered at the education price of $25.
