Jump Aboard
Jump Aboard is a new six-level course for primary school children. It builds on the strengths of a well-structured syllabus and the benefits of communicative teaching to offer a course with an attractive modern design that is straightforward to teach and fun to learn from.
The motivating stories, systematic development of skills and well-principled materials all contribute to making the course ideal for the primary sector. Jump Aboard is a complete, fully-supported course that works with the teacher and develops with the learner.
The Jump Ahead Readers accompany the course. There are two readers per level, each of which recycles grammar and vocabulary in new contexts.
