Smart Class is a series especially designed for primary school students. A learner-centred approach has been the foundation of this course, which aims to actively engage learners in using language to explore their environment and interact with others in order to construct meaning. A building block strategy has been employed, through which every lexical and grammatical item is carefully presented and systematically revised.
Each Smart Class is based on a well-organised, multi-dimensional syllabus, which focuses equally on the development of both vocabulary and structures through lively topics and communicative activities. The four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) are developed in an integrated way throughout the course. The focus is on the development of listening and speaking skills first, with careful steps taken towards the development of reading and writing skills. Special attention has been given to the development of writing skills. Students begin by tracing words and gradually reach the point where they are able to write.
