What makes this curricula so valuable? 

  • Text-based – Each unit is built around an authentic text from various versions of the English Bible.
     
  • Task-based – Meaning is at the core of language, and each task has the learners using language in a meaningful way. 
     
  • Function-based – Each unit develops the learner’s language for every-day living. The language learned in the classroom is applicable for use outside the classroom. 
     
  • Focus on: listening, speaking, reading, writing skills 
     
  • Contains instruction in all aspects of language: discourse, sociolinguistic, strategic, and linguistic (grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary) 
      
  • TimeSaver - Lesson plans are complete. Preparation time is much reduced so you can concentrate on teaching with the resources that are built in. Workbooks are now available so even the copying for class can be reduced.  Based on over 30 years of teacher experience in the ESL field.
     
  • Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced - Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) levels 2-9. 
     
  • Because the Bible represents a historical setting and is couched in historical Hebrew culture, these curricula are suitable for either ESL/EAL (English as a Second/Additional Language) or EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teaching.
