SAMPLE MATERIAL

Oxford Splash is organized into nine units. Each unit comprises eight lessons, featuring a story, two songs, worksheets, stickers, pop-outs, flashcard games and digital material, to maximize your class’ English-learning experience. The following is an overview of a unit from the course. It describes the principle learning objectives and structure of each lesson, as well as how and when resources are used. The number and format of each lesson are designed to be flexible enough to suit most timetable requirements, and make it easy to extend lessons further or skip material when necessary. At the end of each unit there is an Extra activities section for extension or reinforcement of the main language. Every lesson is described within a similar structure and set of routines. All the routines are accompanied by audio in the form of songs or chants, as well as supporting material such as flashcards or puppets. We suggest you use these routines from early on in the year, so as to establish them and build on them as the course progresses. A well-conducted routine can limit the need for use of the mother tongue, as you can use repetitive and routine language in to organize your classes, and makes the children aware of what you want them to do and how you expect them to act.
