Cambridge Global English 7

Features:

Cambridge Global English is an eight-stage course for learners of English as a Second Language (ESL). The eight stages range from the beginning of primary (Stages 1–6) to the end of the first two years of junior secondary (Stages 7–8). It is ideal for all international ESL learners, and particularly for those following the Cambridge Primary/Secondary English as a Second Language Curriculum Framework, as it has been written to adhere to this framework. It presents realistic listening, speaking, reading and writing tasks, as well as end-of-unit projects similar to those students might encounter in the context of a first language school. The course is organised into eighteen thematic units of study based on the Cambridge International English Scheme of Work for Stage 8. After every other unit, there is a literature spread, featuring authentic prose, poetry, plays and songs from a variety of sources.
Cambridge Global English materials are aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference. The materials reflect the following principles:
An international focus. Specifically developed for young learners throughout the world, the topics and situations in Cambridge Global English have been selected to reflect this diversity and encourage learning about each other’s lives through the medium of English.
A cross-curricular, language-rich approach to learning. Cambridge Global English engages learners actively and creatively. At the same time as participating in a range of curriculum-based activities, they practise English language and literacy and develop critical thinking skills.
English for educational success. To meet the challenges of the future, learners will need to develop facility with both conversational and more formal English. From the earliest stage, Cambridge Global English addresses both these competencies. Emphasis is placed on developing the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills learners will need to be successful in using English-language classroom materials.
