Learning and innovation skills increasingly are being recognized as those that separate pupils 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 pupils for the future.
- Partnership for 21st Century Skills.
Big English uses 21st Century Skills to teach young learners about the world around them with photos and culture pages. Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) topics from across the curriculum extend pupils’ vocabulary and English skills and get them interested in the Big picture.
Big English comes with all the support you need to help you organise your class schedule. Engage your pupils with the handy photocopiable tests and exercises, videos, audio tracks, songs and other fun activities.
Engaging pupils is the key. Big English includes games and videos to make learning fun with short tasks and a mix of heads up and heads down activities. Pupils can then practise their English with interactive exercises on MyEnglishLab online and on their mobile devices, wherever they are.
Big English is a complete course that gives you everything you need to teach each class. Step-by-step support throughout means that every teacher can use it. Don’t even worry about organising class content, as time guidelines help you do that.
Big English gives you the tools you need to assess pupils’ progress continually and quickly with its AfL approach. Easily identify who needs help and personalise activities for each pupil, including extra activities for more advanced pupil, to help them all reach their potential.
Use ongoing assessment to show pupils their progress and where they need help. Pupil online tests and at home assessment tools immediately show parents how their children are improving. Use Big English to prepare pupils for the popular Cambridge Young Learner’s Tests with inclusive review pages of these exams.
Pearson Test of English for Young Learners (PETYL) provides fun English language assessment for pupils aged six to 13, delivered by Edexcel, the UK's largest examining body. There are four different levels of PTE Young Learners, to suit pupils 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.
Learn vocabulary while competing in exciting games and building your own town.
