Book excerpt: In conformity with the objectives and recommendations of the latest National Curriculum Framework, we have developed Get Smart—A Multi-skill English Language Course comprising Coursebooks for Primers A and B and Primary Classes (Grades 1 to 5), and Workbooks and Literature Readers for Primary Classes (Grades 1 to 5). This series adopts an eclectic approach which keeps the child in the centre of learning and encourages teacher-student interaction as well as collaborative and experiential learning. This series follows the latest teaching-learning pedagogy and lays emphasis on the four language skills—listening, speaking, reading and writing—along with vocabulary and grammar. It combines the advantages of structural and communicative approaches.
