English Goals

English Goals is a comprehensive and innovative English language course tailored for lower secondary school students aged 11 to 15. Spanning four levels, this course is meticulously designed to guide students from Beginner (Pre-A1) to Intermediate (B1) proficiency, as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and this includes a Teacher’s Book which is an invaluable resource for educators, providing comprehensive support to deliver the course effectively

The course employs a communicative and fully inclusive approach to language teaching with eight units per level, ensuring that all students are motivated and engaged throughout their learning journey. By integrating language learning with global awareness, life skills development, and inclusive practices, this course prepares students not only for academic success but also for the challenges of the modern world. Over the course of four years, English Goals equips students with the language skills and knowledge necessary to achieve B1 level competencies.
