English is a second language in India, not a foreign one. It carries immense importance in our day-to-day life. Yet, teachers notice that even after many years of learning the language, learners find it difficult to communicate in English. Communicate with Cambridge is a well-structured English course (levels 1–8) that addresses this fact by laying equal and imaginative emphasis on the four skills and by keeping the learners involved in a range of creatively designed activities. The books are based on the central principle of ‘Learning without Burden’, the core idea enshrined in the National Curriculum Framework. The Teacher’s Books, accompanying the course, are aimed at providing you with support in your lesson planning with the help of detailed step-by-step lesson plans as well as sample answers. The course has been constructed on the following principles: Cross-cultural Approach As global citizens of tomorrow, learners need exposure to literature, news, information and ideas from across the world. With themes that are universal, the course uses a diverse genre of texts to illustrate the themes in a manner that evokes the sensitivity and empathy required to shape a human being and engender respect for unfamiliar cultures. The selections for this course have been culled from sources from all over the world, with an emphasis on the Indian context. Constructivist Approach “Activity is the heart of the child’s attempt to make sense of the world around him/her.”: Summary of the NCF. The role plays, group discussions, collaborative tasks and interactive exercises place emphasis on the direct involvement of learners in the process of language learning; the teacher is a facilitator. Learners are encouraged to be responsible and autonomous.
