Macmillan English
Six-level course combining L1 and L2 language learning methodology
Macmillan English is a 6-level primary course that nurtures non-native learners' speaking and writing fluency, bringing them on par with native speakers of English in the same age range.
Using participation-based learning such as shared listening and reading exercises, Macmillan English encourages children to work together, which helps build their confidence. Traditional EFL methods are reinforced with phonics and sentence-building activities, giving children who are adapting to English as a second language the tools they need to start mastering it.
