THE EXPLORERS is a set of English language materials for upper Primary (10 – 12), based on project work linked to other subject areas in the school curriculum. Through ten projects on, for example, chocolate, animals, witches and time travel, language is used as a vehicle to fulfil interesting and meaningful tasks.
The Explorers materials are designed to be flexible and to encourage student involvement. Students’ materials include a flexible ring-file system with activity sheets, realia-type documents and a reader and are supplemented by an audio CD with a variety of text types and a set of catchy original songs.
The teacher is provided with a set of large colour posters, an audio CD for class use and downloadable a step-by-step guide to all the activities and extra resiources.
The Explorers was nominated for the British Council innovation awards: ELTONS.
