Baroque Senior One English language and Literature Learner's Book

Baroque Senior One English language and Literature Learner's Book has been developed basing on the New Lower Secondary School Curriculum, whose aim is to enable learners to make informed decisions as citizens and family members and to give them the learning skills they need to think critically and study efficiently.

The Learner's Book has been designed with emphasis on developing the four key language skills; speaking, listening, reading and writing. During their lessons of English, learners will build on the skills acquired at their primary school level to understand and participate in lengthier, more diverse and complex spoken communication. In the course of learning, learners will further acquire intrapersonal and interpersonal skills and team work, which are very important in life and in the world of work.

This book caters for the different teaching and learning styles and needs, which will enable learners to develop skills that will help them to express themselves creatively and imaginatively and to communicate with others effectively.

The following aspects have been considered while developing the content of this book; respect for human life, awareness of the importance of living in harmony with the environment, and independent and critical thinking.

On completion of this course of study, the learner should;

• be responsible for his/her own learning,
• think for himself/herself and develop his/her own understanding of the different concepts,
• become a critical thinker, who is ready to face new challenges and situations, communicate with others effectively.
