Getting students engaged and motivated to learn English is often difficult. How do you get
your students thinking critically? How do you influence them to contribute to class discussion
and activities? How do you ensure that they are confident and well prepared for exams?
Bright Ideas uses an enquiry-based approach in order to tap into children's natural curiosity
and get them more involved in their own learning. This persuades them to ask their own
questions and find their own answers. Every unit asks students a 'Big Question' . This gets
students thinking about the subjects they know and love such as family school and music. As
they move through the content in each unit they are provided with the skills and language
necessary to answer the unit's 'Big Question' whilst having fun! This is followed by a 'Big
Poll Question' which prompts students to think about the topic on a more personal and
evaluative level. 'Think' tasks encourage pupils to apply their own experience and
opinions to a particular topic and language practice is provided through songs stories and
games. Through Online Practice and interactive eBooks containing class activities and homework
tasks students are able to further practice the content of each lesson. Automatic marking and
progression tracking tools make it easier for development to be assessed. The flexible
teaching package offers a range of tools and resources to ensure that you are able to create
the perfect lesson for your students. The Classroom Presentation Tool with on-screen Class Book
and Activity Book provides comprehensive content for teachers to adapt to any teaching
situation class size or ability. The course provides a flexible fresh and fun way to
teach and learn English and ensures exam success for your students.
