4 The Teens’ English Approach
Teens’ English follows the State Educational Standards and syllabus for foreign
languages that were developed and approved by the Scientifi c Methodical Council
on Foreign Languages in February 2017. The syllabus is based on topics which were
chosen after consulting pupils and teachers in diff erent parts of Uzbekistan.
Teens’ English aims to help pupils develop the
four Language Skills: reading,
listening, speaking and writing. There is an emphasis on teaching Modern English
for Communication so special attention is paid to speaking and listening, which
in the past have often been neglected. Of course young learners also need a good
foundation in
Vocabulary, Grammar and Pronunciation so these are also developed
systematically. The vocabulary in
Teens’ English has been chosen and organised
according to topics, and grammar is taught as an integral part of communication.
Book 7 also begins the process of developing translation skills systematically. At
this level translation is used to compare and contrast new structures and vocabulary
in English and the mother tongue. The purpose is to make pupils aware that there is
not a one to one corres pon dence between English and the other languages they know.
The main diff erence between
Teens’ English and other textbooks you may have
used is that
Teens’ English encourages a
learner-centred approach to teaching.
