Rich vocabulary development. Building a large and robust vocabulary is a cornerstone to success in both conversational and academic English. Bridge to Success exposes learners to a wide range of vocabulary. Many opportunities for revising these words and using them in personalised, meaningful
ways are woven into the activities and lesson plans
Individualised learning. We approach learning in an individual way by both acknowledging the individual. nature of the knowledge and background of each. child, and encouraging their specific input. We also provide for differentiated learning in the classroom by offering a range of activities of varying difficulty and guidance for tailoring activities to the needs of different learners. Detailed support for this is provided in the lesson plans in this book
Integrated assessment. Throughout the course, teachers informally assess their learners' understanding of language and concepts The Teacher's Guide provides suggestions for extending or re-teaching language skills based on learners' demonstrated proficiency. An end- of -unit Review in the Coursebook provides a simple- to- use evaluation measure: a quick progress check on learners' understanding of key ESL and early literacy skills
At the end of each unit, learners apply the skills and knowledge they have acquired as they work in groups to create and present a project. This provides teachers with an excellent performance assessment opportunity
