OXFORD DISCOVER

Oxford Discover is a new curriculum that works mainly on the 4 skills of the 21st Century; Critical thinking, collaboration and Communication.

The main theme of the book is how to differentiate and connect the Nonfiction world with the fiction one. This helps the students to discover the world around them with all its subjects and imagine how it looks in the fiction world. Students nowadays need a book like Oxford Discover that respects their new creative skills.

The “Working in groups” exercises helps the student to communicate with his classmates and collaborate with them and this improves his communication skills and of course enriches his language and fluency.

The book exercises gives a chance for the students to present their own projects; and this is very important in teaching them how critical thinking should be, so the student will be able to criticize any subject positively.

The grammar book of the package uses the right sequence and presents a full explanation of every grammar topic in all its forms, which helps the students to have a complete knowledge of grammar by the end of the course.

Oxford Discover Presents a Writing and Spelling book, which plays a main role, besides the main course, in

enriching the writing skills and explaining the spelling topics.

And I feel as though the children as a result have developed better bonds between each other and a better understanding of each other.”—Elementary teacher

Free

Conversation

Foreigner

Free Topics

Open Discussion..!!

about other people (usually absent), which may be either critical, competitive, or supportive. This includes gossip. Conversations about oneself, which sometimes indicate attention-seeking behavior or can provide relevant information about oneself to participants in the Conversations. Practically, few Conversations fall exclusively into one category. Nevertheless, the proportional distribution of any given conversation between the categories can offer useful psychological insights into the mindset of the participants. This is the reason that the majority of Conversations are difficult to categorize.

CONVERSATION

Most conversations may be classified by their goal. Conversational ends may, however, shift over the life of the conversation. Functional conversation is designed to convey information in order to help achieve an individual or group goal. Small talk is a type of conversation where the topic is less important than the social purpose of achieving bonding between people or managing personal distance.
