Open Day (2) Student’s Book with Readers

書籍介紹

Description
Open Day is a fun six-level topic-based series for elementary schools in which students learn to communicate confidently in English. A wide range of activities acquaints them with internationally accepted exams while providing practice in all four skills.

At each level, students are accompanied by children called the Good Buddies, who appear in stories with animals that are or have been endangered. These characters inspire students to become balanced human beings who care about the world they live in.

It is in this way that the series develops empathy and tolerance. It successfully engages students through active learning and by encouraging them to analyze how they work as individuals and interact with others.

With Open Day, students will:

• learn CEFR-benchmarked language and experience international young learners’ exam formats.
• explore content from other subjects, like geography and science (CLIL).
• practice Mindfulness, to increase self-awareness and enjoy life to the full.
• examine Citizenship skills and values, to recognize how responsible members in our community behave, and why.
• perform collaborative projects, personalizing and sharing their knowledge communicative tasks.
• reflect on life’s big questions to develop their critical thinking, by exploring, analyzing, drawing conclusions and proposing solutions to our daily lives.
• develop projects at home, together with their family, in Home Connection activities.

Every Student’s Book opens another world – and another endangered species and its habitat! A Welcome Unit introduces each level, recycling earlier content (Level 1 opens with functional classroom language). Then two complementary units develop a topic (four per level), meaning topics include an integrated Mindfulness program, Citizenship, CLIL, project work, international exam preparation, and the Good Buddies story with its threatened animal, as well as the essential vocabulary, skills, grammar and phonics practice! Students self-evaluate at the end of each topic and complete a fun home connection task.
