Open Up

• Open up students’ eyes to the world with authentic, relatable, and intercultural content, as seen through the point of view of a child. Make their learning experience authentic, introducing them to real life issues from around the world to empower them to become global citizens. Prepare them for their academic future with the Activity Book Exam Edition.
• Open up students’ imagination with innovative vlog-style video content that is fun and engaging. Videos are presented in familiar formats to students to spark their curiosity for language learning and give them the motivation to stay curious. 
• Open up your students’ horizons and empower them to become global citizens. On the Oxford Community on Go Pangea, students interact and collaborate with learners from around the world. Projects in the course develop learner engagement and ensure that students work together.
• Open up your students’ feelings and aid in the development of their emotional wellbeing and self-awareness skills. The series has been developed with a strong emotional wellbeing strand to encourage students to discuss how they feel, including mindfulness practices to help calm and focus students and develop their emotional wellbeing skills.

• Learning Situations: Termly Learning Situations in Open Up are structured around a topic question, which help students reflect on issues and questions they will encounter outside the classroom. Enquiry-based learning platform Go Pangea gives further opportunities for Learning Situations based on UNSDGs while developing students’ digital competence.
• Competence based learning: Open Up ensures that the Key Competences are developed methodically. They are clearly highlighted in the Class Book and explained throughout the teacher’s notes. Competence-based assessment rubrics and Specific Competences tests facilitate implementation of the LOMLOE in the classroom.
• Continuous assessment: A complete assessment package includes cumulative termly exams. The iProgress Check and Learning Record sections of the Active Learning Kit encourage students to learn independently.
• Mediation: Mediation activities in every unit ensure the development of this language skill in the classroom. Teaching notes in the teacher’s book include easy-to-understand explanations.

Open Up’s relatable video content reflects the style of videos children watch today and inspires them to learn, while the course’s methodology develops their emotional wellbeing and helps them make sense of their world. The inclusion of My English Folder (levels 1 and 2) provides hands-on resources for children and both print and digital resources for the classroom for teachers interested in a flexible structure with a practical approach.

Choose between the Class Book and My English Folder for levels 1 and 2. Open Up lets you decide which is the best option for your younger students: a complete course book with engaging activities to help children develop communicative and fine motor skills, or a set of active learning resources that allow you to teach at your own pace.
