Merry Team

Merry Team is a six-level English course for children at Primary School and covers CEFR levels A1-A2. Each level provides material for up to 90 lessons of between 45 and 60 minutes. The Teacher's Resources provide guidelines for extending or reducing the lessons.

The pupil's books presents the target language in topic-based contexts to develop knowledge of a different culture. Real world topics as well as invented stories aid the children's cognitive development:

Levels 1 & 2 focus on daily experiences and core vocabulary building; pre-reading & pre-writing.

Levels 3 & 4 introduce topics from the wider world and include interdisciplinary activities with emphasis on listening & reading; classroom interaction for speaking; limited writing tasks.

Levels 5 & 6 provide a bridge towards secondary education through development of all four language skills with communicative activities.

The activity books + audio CD provide thorough practice of the target language featured in the pupil's books. They incorporate a wide variety of fun activities including listening material for home study.

Digital Books: These are fully-interactive versions of the course materials for use in class with an interactive whiteboard (IWB). They allow for fun "heads-up" lessons which help keep interest high. All the resources and teaching tools are supplied in one digital book per level.

The teacher's guide + audio CD contains full notes for each lesson and activity as well as transcripts of all recordings. It also includes extra teaching ideas and materials.

Additional resources for this course are also available: 3 DVDs with animations and sets of flashcards for vocabulary work.
