A delightful three-level pre-school course based on songs and stories. Hippo and Friends is a 3-level pre-school course for 3-5 year-olds. It uses a song- and story-based approach to introduce language to children in a way that comes naturally at this age. Actions and activities further reinforce learning. The course is packed full of attractive illustrations which immediately engage and delight young learners. The four lovable characters, Hippo, Monkey, Dog and Cat, provide a safe and friendly setting for each English lesson. The course is very easy to teach and is suitable for schools offering from 1 to 5 lessons a week, as each unit is divided into 5 carefully structured lessons which revise and expand on the key language. The full-colour Teacher's Books contain step-by-step lesson plans and useful classroom management techniques. There are also plenty of ideas for extra activities which offer the teacher flexibility and choice. The Teacher's Book is in Polish, and has been translated by a practising teacher and Young Learner expert. It caters for the needs of kindergarten teachers who are not qualified English teachers with A1/A2 language competence and are usually ?introductory learning? teachers. The book also contains new sections called "Parent's Corner" with guidelines for parents and information on expected learning progress and achievements, as well as new activities for parents and their children to use at home.
