What makes this curriculum so valuable?
- Text-based – Each unit is built around an authentic text from The New Living Translation of the Bible. Other texts are brought in as they relate to what is being studied. (Portraits 1 is The Message, Portraits II is NIV)
- Task-based – Meaning is at the core of language, and each task has the learners using language in a meaningful way.
- Function-based – Each unit develops the learner’s language for every-day living. The language learned in the classroom is applicable for use outside the classroom.
- Focus on all four skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing
- Contains instruction in all aspects of language: discourse, sociolinguistic, strategic, and linguistic (grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary)
- Teachers from third world countries: contact Bruce Peters for special information.
- TimeSaver - Preparation time is much reduced so you can concentrate on teaching with the resources that are built in. Workbooks are now available so even the copying for class can be avoided. Based on over 30 years of teacher experience in this area.
- Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced - Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) levels 2-6.
- Because the Bible represents a historical setting and is couched in historical Hebrew culture, these curricula are suitable for either ESL/EAL (English as a Second/Additional Language) or EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching.
