Big English is six-level primary course that engages students with fun, exciting topics and prepares them to become productive citizens of the world! The course is built on three educational pillars: Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Assessment for Learning (AfL) and 21st Century Skills.
* Not availble in the United States
Best suited to classes with anywhere between 4 and 8 hours of English each week, Big English is perfect for teachers looking for a well-balanced approach that includes ready-made CLIL lessons and a focus on the 21st Century skills development. For teachers who recognize the importance of ongoing assessment, and who want to involve their students in the learning process.
And for teachers looking to incorporate technology into their classroom? Big English provides the very best of technology without the headaches, giving teachers the freedom and time to focus on what they do best, teach! Big English does all the preparation work, helping teachers get the most out of every lesson, every student.
Learning and innovation skills increasingly are being recognized as those that separate students who are prepared for a more and more complex life and work environments in the 21st century, and those who are not. A focus on creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration is essential to prepare students for the future.

Pearson Test of English for Young Learners (PETYL) provides fun English language assessment for students aged six to 13, delivered by Edexcel, the UK's largest examining body. There are four different levels of PTE Young Learners, to suit students from pre-A1 to A2 level on the Common European Framework of Reference. The tests assess a young learner's ability to use English language communicatively, with an emphasis on real-life scenarios rather than on knowledge of specific language items and vocabulary.
Big English prepares learners for the requirements found in the PTEYL - First Words, Springboard, Quickmarch and Breakthrough.
