English Horizons | 9 Grade | English Student's Book

Horizons has been specifically designed for Grade 7 in the National Curriculum, and it consists of 14 units. Horizons has four aims:

To help the learners to develop such competencies as interpersonal communication, interpretative communication, presentational communication and cross-cultural communication.
To contribute to reinforcing values pertaining to character, civility and citizenship.
To raise their consciousness as to global issues'.
To give them a feeling of success and achievement in language learning.

Horizons uses a competency-based approach to language teaching. It focuses on the competencies that are required in:

Interpersonal interactions, such as using greetings, farewells, and expressions of courtesy, giving personal information.
Interpretative situations such as demonstrating understanding of spoken and written words in a variety of texts (e.g., rhymes).
Presentational situations such as naming people, places and things using simple words, phrases and formulas.
Cross-cultural communication; that is, comparing their language(s) and culture(s) with other languages and cultures. It is hoped that Horizons will reflect the view that sees culture as being a way of looking at the world and that no culture is superior to another.
