Visual learners are supported through a wide range of illustrations, photos, and graphic organizers that help them process information. Auditory learners have many opportunities both to hear and to repeat key learning targets throughout each unit. Tactile and kinesthetic learners are provided with sticker activities, routines and games using touch and movement. The Teacher's Edition suggests activities that lend themselves to these and other styles.
Fun and Friends works on both learning strategies and critical thinking skills. Explicit instruction on learning strategies is provided in the Teacher's Edition. Tasks in the student book are designed so that students will use and develop critical-thinking skills such as brainstorming; classifying; comparing; making inferences; problem solving, and ranking.
The research and the experts agree: learning how to listen is the first step in learning any language. That is why Fun and Friends put listening centre stage in all our English lessons. Students always begin with a listening exercise, then progress through reading, speaking and writing.
1) Authenticity - David Nunan
Authentic texts are those that have been produced in the course of genuine communication. Examples include news reports, advertisements, flim clips and trailers. Use of authentic text helps students cope successfully with genuine communication outside the classroom.
(Fun and Friends use authentic text.)
2) Input - Michael Rost
Listening has been viewed as a primary vehicle for language learning. Comprehensive input was a necessary condition for language learning.
3) Effectiveness - Michael Rost
Effective teaching involves
careful selection of input sources (appropriately authentic, interesting, varied and challenging)
integration of listening with other learning purposes (with appropriate links to speaking, reading and writing)
4) Listen, Listen, Listen to English
Listening is especially important for beginners. Beginners should spend 95% of their study time listening to English.
