PREFACE* Let’s Learn English is designed for Seventh Year Basic Education pupils. It ismade up of two interdependent Books : a Student Book and an Activity Book.* Let’s Learn English contains five modules dealing with themes that cover therequirements of the English Programmes – Year Seven Basic Education. Eachmodule is divided into 4 inputsections and a review. Each section proposesseveral activities. Ample description on how to use the various activities isprovided in the Teacher’s Book.* We have drawn upon various methodological principles while working on Let’sLearn English since no one single approach or method can claim to beexhaustive and far-reaching.* We have opted for principled eclecticism through the proposal of a variety oftechniques, advocated by different approaches and methods. Role play, minicry,physical responses and repetition are but some of these techniques.* It is our belief that learner-centredness and autonomous learning are essentialin teaching a foreign language. Therefore, most of the activities proposed in Let’sLearn English aim at involving the learner while encouraging learner autonomy.Project Work – the ultimate in collaborative learning is initiated as early as thefirst module. The purpose is to encourage autonomous and collaborative learningthrough the achievement of simple projects.* Recreational and ludic activities (time for a song / time for a joke / listen andcolour, etc) are meant to motivate the young learners and meet their needs forfun and anxiety-free atmosphere while learning a new language.* We shall conclude with a word of caution : Let’s Learn English - in its firstedition - surely presents weaknesses and limitations. In this regard, any criticismand suggestions for improvements that could be incorporated in the secondedition will be welcome.The Authors
