Skills
The emphasis of the course is on skills development: students learn English by using it in lively communicative activities and by interacting with a wide range of written texts and audio recordings.
A typical lesson features a dialogue or other text which introduces the main language points of the lesson. This is followed by activities which develop students’ understanding of that language, and require them to use it for themselves. There are also screens which offer a variety of grammar and vocabulary activities which consolidate the content of the lesson.
Balloon English Secondary provides students with perfect conditions for building their communicative skills. Its interactive resources, real-life situations, up-to-date topics and opportunities for spontaneous and creative interaction are designed to motivate the students and provide them with strong learning stimuli.
Lesson structure
Lessons are constructed in a similar way in the whole course. Each lessons starts with the Table of contents, next there are activity screens, usually the first one is a form of presentation (text, audio, animation), the Report Page is the last screen. Number of screens vary across the lessons.
