Perfect English - 1

Description:

English equals success in the globalized world. Perfect English equips Indian students with mastery of this global language and its nuances, while making learning fun. As a comprehensive course, this series comes with several educative modules focusing on all-round language skills that assist learners in using English confidently in real-world scenarios.

Rich texts across genres and cultures expose students to diverse ways of seeing and inculcate an appreciation of literature. A dedicated comprehension module fosters higher-order and independent thinking. Text-specific vocabulary and words used in everyday contexts along with their pronunciations enable fluent conversations across themes and situations. Writing tasks on relevant topics and interesting research-based activities aid not just expression but also co-curricular learning.

Some defining features of the series are:

• Rich texts familiarizing students with various literary genres
• Thoroughly graded in terms of themes, concepts and complexity
• Engaging exercises encouraging students to go beyond the text
• Intensive grammar lessons to acquaint learners with the structure and functions of the language
• Captivating illustrations that are not just descriptive of the texts but thought-provoking visuals in their own right
• Focus on values and life-skills
