As a part of Pearson education, the textbook used in Lening education is naturally the original Longman textbook. Because Longman textbooks are world-renowned in the field of English education, there are not a few institutions that use Longman textbooks in the market at present, and Lening Education is very different from other institutions in this respect.
First of all, Lening education is "courses first, then textbooks". In 2008, according to the previous detailed market research and parents' interviews, combined with the characteristics of the original Longman textbook, Longman education experts set up the current Elon curriculum for Lening education, including age, level and teaching objectives. Then, according to the curriculum and teaching objectives, Longman education experts select the textbooks that appear from many original Longman textbooks, that is, "textbooks serve the curriculum." Other institutions basically buy a set of Longman textbooks first, and then set the curriculum according to the chapters of the textbooks. In this mode, the institution has no clear teaching goal, so students can only follow the textbook and learn to play after the textbook is finished.
Secondly, the Longman textbook used in Lening Education is not a certain set, but a series. From the age of 3, Grade 24 gradually increased, covering all students aged 65,438+08. Each level is not a textbook, but a booklet based on language skills. Other institutions often use different kinds of teaching materials with self-made teaching materials to form their own teaching material system. Maybe Longman textbooks are used at a certain stage, so the difficulty connection is not guaranteed, and the content often overlaps, which is inconvenient for teachers' teaching requirements and students' learning methods.
Thirdly, LeNing education not only uses Longman textbooks, but supplements them according to the requirements of the current new curriculum standards for primary and secondary schools in Shanghai. There are specially added contents and auxiliary teaching materials in the connection of young children and the cultivation of students' comprehensive ability, all from Longman. Other institutions often simply "sit in the right place" between textbooks and courses, ignoring the connection between the original textbooks and local syllabuses.
Finally, as a subsidiary of Longman Group, Lening Education has unparalleled advantages in the use of teaching materials:
1, the textbook is equipped with a complete Longman syllabus.
2. Longman Group Headquarters sends textbook experts to regularly train the teachers of Lening Education in the use of textbooks.
3. Longman Group specially configured e-books for the original Longman textbooks used by Lening Education.
