Cambridge Children's English Test
Cambridge Children's English Series Textbooks
The key for children to learn a foreign language well is to have scientific teaching ideas, teaching contents, teaching methods and excellent teachers. The University of Cambridge Examinations Board (UCLES) is committed to cultivating and improving the English proficiency of children in non-native English speaking countries. The design of Cambridge Children's English (YLE) provides a comprehensive, systematic, scientific and standardized test method for children's English learning in these countries. Especially for children's English education in non-English-speaking countries, it is of universal guiding significance to cultivate children's basic language ability and language sense, cultivate students' language thinking ability and practical application ability, and establish self-confidence in English learning. We try to follow YLE's guiding ideology and leading principles, mainly based on its grade examination syllabus, referring to the national English curriculum standards and the Basic Requirements for English Curriculum Teaching in Primary Schools promulgated by the Ministry of Education, and combining the characteristics and needs of English education for primary school students in China, we have compiled this series of teaching materials, Cambridge Children's English, for the majority of young readers to choose from.
